Postdoc Position in Computational Neuroscience at the University of Bremen
The Computational Neurophysics lab at the University of Bremen, led by Dr. Udo Ernst, is offering a postdoc position in Computational Neuroscience for 3 years. The project aims to study organization and optimization of flexible information processing in neural networks, focusing on the visual system. The successful candidate will use network modelling, numerical simulation, and mathematical analysis to investigate fundamental aspects of flexible computation. The research will be complemented by biophysically realistic modelling and data analysis in collaboration with experimental work on selective attention in the visual system.
Requirements for the position include a PhD in computational neuroscience, physics, computer science or related fields, a strong background in neural networks, dynamical systems, mathematics and/or data analysis, and experience in programming (Python is used in the lab). Candidates should be highly motivated, responsible, have a strong desire to learn and be able to work proactively in an international research environment. Fluency in English (both written and spoken) is required.
The Computational Neurophysics Lab offers a good working atmosphere, direct involvement in international research and attractive facilities. The research can be linked to a wide range of other topics being studied in the lab, such as collective dynamics in neural systems, information processing in deep spiking networks, and the development of visual cortex prostheses.
The University of Bremen is a family-friendly, diverse and international university. It is committed to the goals of sustainability, climate justice and climate neutrality. Applications from women and disabled persons are particularly welcome.
To apply, please submit a motivation letter, curriculum vitae, list of skills, awards, publications, and contact details of two academic references by May 31, 2024, indicating the job id A189-24. Applications can be sent by mail or as one PDF file by unencrypted electronic mail to ajanssen at neuro.uni-bremen.de.
