Career

We are continuously looking for excellent young researchers on the Postdoctoral, PhD, Master, and Bachelor levels to join our endeavor. Please contact Dr. Martina Reske with a motivation letter and CV to enquire about current opportunities. For PhD, Master, and Bachelor positions, please also include your university transcripts.

PhD position available

At the Institute of Advanced Simulation (IAS-6) at the Research Center Juelich a PhD position is available in the field of Computational Neuroscience to investigate cross-area interactions in the visuo-motor pathway of non-human primates during a visually guided motor task. The data are provided by our experimental partners at INT, CNRS, Marseille. Simultaneous electrophysiological recordings by multiple Utah electrode arrays implanted in V1, V2, V4, 7a, DP and M1 will be studied driven by predictions from theory and network modeling to gain a mechanistic understanding of cross-area interaction signatures. The project is embedded in the interdisciplinary work program of the IAS-6 (www.csn.fz-juelich.de) with experts from network modeling, analytical theory, data analytics, AI and neuromorphic computing.

Applicants should have a background in computational neuroscience, physics, mathematics, or a related field. Solid skills of math and programming (preferably Python) are required. Experience with data analyses, modelling, analysis of complex systems, simulation, and software development are beneficial. Applicants should have a keen interest in neuroscience, interdisciplinary projects, and collaborative work.

Please send your application (incl. CV and two reference contacts) to Prof. Dr. Sonja Grün (s.gruen@fz-juelich.de) or Dr. David Dahmen (d.dahmen@fz-juelich.de).
