A 3-year PhD contract in the intersection between visual neuroscience and artificial neural networks is available to work with Prof. Jesus Malo at the Image and Signal Processing Group (http://isp.uv.es) at the Universitat de Valencia (Spain). Salary is 22000 euros/year (gross salary including health care).

Candidates should:

• hold a degree in Computer Science, Physics, Maths, quantitative Neuroscience / Psychology or similar. Call requires that this degree has to be posterior to january 2015 and be from a non-spanish university.
• have strong analytical and computational skills [e.g. statistics / machine learning / matlab / python].
• have genuine interest in biological vision and in participating in psychophysical/physiological experiments to build models applicable in computer vision or image processing, and
• be able to communicate in english.

Candidates may hold a master degree (some postgraduate experience). Master is preferable but not a mandatory condition.

We offer a multidisciplinary atmosphere (regular meetings on machine learning and visual perception with other PhD students) and international contacts with possibility of frequent travels for cooperation with other experimental/theoretical labs. The successful candidate will have the possibility of obtaining a PhD with several high-impact publications.

Work will start by september 2019 (i.e. eventual visa issues should be solved before hand!).
