Job offer in computational neuroscience
Hi! we currently have an open post-doctoral position for a neuroinformatician in Marseille, France. You will find the ad below, feel free to diffuse it to potentially interested candidates: *Neuro**informatician/Mathematical modeler* *TNG Team, **Institute of System**Neuroscience (INS**), Marseille, FRANCE***** A post-doctoral position is open in the Theoretical Neurosciences Group (TNG) <http://ins.univ-amu.fr/research-teams/theoretical-neurosciences-group/>directed by Viktor JIRSA at the Institute of System Neuroscience (INS) for an experienced computational neuroscientist to work in modeling brain networks with the aim of creating individual Virtual Patient dementia models using The Virtual Brain platform as framework (see http://www.thevirtualbrain.org). This research project will be conducted in the context of the Aetionomy European consortium (IMI). *Qualification* Candidates must be highly motivated to work on an interdisciplinary project and collaborate with the various members of the consortium. They should have a PhD degree in computational neuroscience, mathematical modeling or equivalent level of knowledge. A strong background in data fitting (Bayesian approaches, Dynamical Causal Modeling (DCM), Monte Carlo techniques) will be highly appreciated. Candidates must be comfortable working in computational environmentsand possess excellent programming skills. Experience with The Virtual Brain platform would be considered an advantage. *The Theoretical Neuroscience group* We are a multi-national team interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal organization of large-scale brain networks. Our work comprises mathematical and computational modeling of large-scale network dynamics and human brain imaging data, the development of neuroinformatics tools for studying large-scale brain networks applied to concrete functions, dysfunctions (epilepsy, dementia) and aging. *Terms of salary and employment* A 12-month renewable contract will be established. Salary will depend on the diploma and experience. Operating language in the laboratory is English. Applications including a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names of two referees should be sent by September 30^th 2016 to: *Dr. Irene Yujnovsky* at irene.yujnovsky@univ-amu.frMore information about the INS and the Theoretical Neurosciences Group can be found at: http://bit.ly/29kub1k Thank you very much, Irene Yujnovsky -- --------------------------------------------------- Irene Yujnovsky, PhD Chef de projet EPINEXT Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes Inserm UMR1106 Université Aix-Marseille Faculté de Médecine, 27, Boulevard Jean Moulin 13005 Marseille, France Phone: +33 (0)491324239 email: irene.yujnovsky@univ-amu.fr Website: http://epinext.org/
