Dear All, I am seeking a candidate interested in applying for an *FPU-UPC PhD fellowship *(see last year's call for reference here <https://talenthub.upc.edu/en/jobs/r1/fpu-upc-2025/fpu-upc-2025>) to work on computational neuroscience. The project can be oriented either toward: 1. *Single-neuron biophysical modeling:* ion-channel dynamics, dendritic and axonal morphology, calcium-dependent plasticity, and large-scale simulations of human and mouse neurons. 2. *NeuroAI:* biologically inspired machine-learning models using realistic neuronal network architecture constraints (see: https://biocomsc.upc.edu/en/tfg-and-tfm-with-us/projects/tfe_neuroia_2025-1.... ). Candidates should have solid skills in Python and ideally computational neuroscience modeling (NEURON, Arbor, etc.) or AI background (e.g., PyTorch) and a strong motivation for either direction. Interested applicants should send a *CV + brief statement of interest*. Application deadline (early April 2026). Some time may be necessary to arrange documentation and get preliminary acceptance in the PhD program. Start date (October 2026).
