Open postdoctoral position focusing on computational modelling of early visual system and neuro-prosthetic system design.

Multiple projects possible:

• Modeling electrical stimulation in a spiking model of the primary visual cortex. The goal of this project is to understand how intra-cortical stimulation can be used to restore vision in blind subjects.
• Deep-neural networks in visual neuroscience, especially applications for understanding of visual perception under artificial cortical stimulation.
• Study of cortical dynamics of spontaneous or artificially evoked activity in the visual cortex.
• Biologically detailed spiking large-scale models of early visual cortical pathway – from Retina to V4.

Requirements:

• Strong computational and analytical skills.
• Experience in computational modeling, spiking neural networks, machine learning or understanding of electric field propagation in biological mediums are of great advantage but not strictly required.

Duration:             2 years, with possible extension

Funding:              Fully funded for 4 years

Starting date:    Now

To apply, send:  Detailed CV and cover letter explaining your interests and how your skills align with our project to: antolikjan@gmail.com

We will be accepting applications until position is filled.
