Spain: 2 Marie Curie Ph.D. positions in computational neuroscience (Magdeburg and Barcelona)

Deadline: 31 Dec. 2013


One person will be based in the group of Prof. Jochen Braun, Magdeburg, the other in the group of Prof. Gustavo Deco, Barcelona. Both will perform visual psychophysics and functional imaging in Magdeburg and computational modeling in Barcelona.

Candidates must have an MSc (or equivalent) in physics, mathematics, or computer science. Experience in acquiring and analyzing function MRI data is desirable, but not required. A prior interest in neuroscience and a strong affinity for formal models of neural activity are essential.

Holders will apply a novel approach to functional connectivity based on modeling whole brain dynamics, constrained by DTI fiber tracking and resting state fMRI. Monitoring the spontaneous evolution of visual perception with suitable paradigms (shifts of selective attention, reversals of appearance of multi-stable displays) they will establish the associated brain dynamics for comparison with the dynamical model.
