The Computational Neuroscience group of Klaus Pawelzik ( http://www.neuro.uni-bremen.de ) invites applications for an open Ph.D. student position in the project 'I-See The artificial eye: Chronic wireless interface to the visual cortex' (http://www.isee.uni-bremen.de for details about the project) In this project we investigate the possibilities and foundations of injecting visual information into the visual cortex via electrical stimulation for neuro - prosthetic purposes. We are looking for a PhD student with a background in physics and/or computational neuroscience. She/he will work in close cooperation with experimentalists in the group of Andreas Kreiter (www.brain.uni-bremen.de). The student will analyse electro-physiological data with the goal to identify the underlying network structure/model which generates a specific neural response and visual percept to a particular electrical stimulation. She/he will then invert this model in order to determine the spatio-temporal stimulation pattern required for creating a desired visual percept. Basic knowledge in programming and in formal methods/Computational Neuroscience are required. Interested candidates should send their application in German or English language, a letter of motivation, CV, copies of school and university certificates (master/diploma or equivalent) until the 17th of April to: Agnes Janßen Cognium Hochschulring 18 Universität Bremen D-28359 Bremen Germany The documents can be sent in via eMail ( ajanssen@neuro.uni-bremen.de ) or in paper form. Severely disabled applicants and women with essentially identical technical and personal suitability will be preferentially selected.
