*Doctoral Position in Computational Neuroscience* Are you curious about how the human brain stores memories? Have you wondered how we manage to navigate through space? Our dynamic research group uses diverse computational modeling approaches,includingbiological neural networks, cognitive modeling, and machine learning/artificial intelligence, to study learning and memory. Currently, we are actively seeking a *talented graduate student* to join our team, someone who will expand our computationalmodeling framework Cobel-RL (https://doi.org/10.3389/fninf.2023.1134405)and use it to study how episodic memory might be used to learn to navigate.* * *If you are interested in this position and are attending the Bernstein Conference please get in touch directly with Sen Cheng at the conference.*** *Your Profile: * Candidates must * have a mastersdegreein neuroscience, physics, computer science, mathematics, psychology,or a related field * be able to work independently * have experience in mathematical modeling * have excellent programming skills, * have excellent communication skills in English, and * work well in a team. We are committed to providing a supportive work environment for female researchers and those with young children. Our university provides mentoring and coaching opportunities specifically aimed at women in research. We have a strong research network with female role models and will provide opportunities to meet with them. Wherever possible, events will be scheduled during regular childcare hours. Special childcare will be arranged if events have to be scheduled outside of regular hours, in case of sickness and during school or daycare closures. Where childcare is not an option parents will be offered a home office solution. The Ruhr University Bochum is home to a vibrant research community in neuroscienceand cognitive science. The Institute for Neural Computation combines different areas of expertise ranging from experimental and theoretical neuroscienceto machine learning androbotics. This position is *65% at TV-L E13*, starts as soon as possible and is funded for *3 years*. Please send your application, including CV, transcripts and research statement electronically, as a single PDF file, to samarasinghe@ini.rub.de. In addition, at least two academic references mustbe sent independently to the above email address. Deadline remains open until the position is filled. The Ruhr University Bochum is committed to equal opportunity. We strongly encourage applications from qualified women and persons with disabilities. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions. -- Vinita Samarasinghe M.Sc., M.A. Science Manager Arbeitsgruppe Computational Neuroscience Institut für Neuroinformatik Ruhr-Universität Bochum, NB 3/73 Postfachnummer 110 Universitätstr. 150 44801 Bochum Tel: +49 (0) 234 32 27996 Email:samarasinghe@ini.rub.de
