PostDoc – Plasticity And Learning, Memory And Decision-Making

Applications for a postdoc position at the interface between physics and neuroscience are open at the newly set up Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience lab at Washington University in St. Louis. The selected candidate will work on one or more computational problems, involving models of plasticity and learning, memory and decision-making. A brief description of the projects can be found at http://neurosci.wustl.edu/People/Faculty/Gaia-Tavoni. The underlying research theme in the lab is the search for Read More …

PhD – Computational Neuroscience And Modeling Of Salamander Spinal Locomotor Circuits

The Biorobotics laboratory (Biorob, https://www.epfl.ch/labs/biorob/) at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) has one open PhD student position in computational neuroscience and modeling of salamander spinal locomotor circuits. The position is part of the ERC Synergy Salamandra project that will start in September 2021, together with Prof. Andras Simon (KTH Sweden) and Prof. Dimitri Ryczko (U. Sherbrooke, Canada). See some info here: https://actu.epfl.ch/news/salamanders-provide-a-model-for-spinal-cord-rege-3/ The goals of the position are (i) to develop numerical models and simulations of the locomotor circuits in the spinal cord of Read More …
