| - | We are currently looking for a motivated PhD student to join us in the exploration of computational properties of neurons. Our group is embedded in the Department of Biology at Humboldt-University Berlin | + | |
| - | and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin, located on the beautiful Campus Nord in the center of the city. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | We are particularly interested in how cell-intrinsic physiological processes affect neuronal computation in single neurons and networks. To this end we use theoretical approaches in combination with the analysis of experimental data (obtained by experimental collaborators in vertebrate and invertebrate systems). Many of our projects take the evolutionary perspective into account, with the aim to improve our understanding of how constraints, such as limited energetic resources or fluctuating environmental variables (like | + | |
| - | temperature), shaped the design of neuronal systems. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The PhD project will involve biophysical modeling of neurons, intending to derive principles that generalize across multiple brain areas or nervous systems. The PhD student will be given the opportunity to cooperate with experimental groups in the Berlin area. Moreover, suitable candidates may participate in the structured PhD program [[https://www.bccn-berlin.de/Graduate+Programs/2_Doctoral+Program/|"Sensory Computation in Neural Systems" (GRK 1589)]], providing lively interactions with other research groups and students in the fields of computational neuroscience, systems neurobiology, and machine learning. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | A strong background in physics, biophysics, computational neuroscience, or computational biology is recommended. Moreover, candidates should have solid experience in programming (python or matlab to solve ODEs/SDEs), analytical skills, and a keen interest in neurophysiological questions. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | If interested, please send an email to Susanne Schreiber (email: s.schreiber :AT: hu-berlin.de) including a letter of motivation, a CV, and a copy of the current academic transcripts. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. | + | |
