PhD Position in Computational Neuroscience/Machine learning
MLearn Research Group
School of Computer Science
University of Lincoln
UK

Applications are invited for a PhD position in the MLearn Research Group at the University of Lincoln. Projects involve the development and simulation of models of neurons and neuronal networks hippocampal memory functions (Cutsuridis V, et al. (2010). Encoding and retrieval in the hippocampal CA1 microcircuit model. Hippocampus, 20(3): 423-446)<http://vassiliscutsuridis.com/docs/Journal_papers/CutCobGraHippo2010.pdf> and/or applications of machine learning (deep learning) techniques for the analysis of data. A description of our research interests and a list of publications can be found on our webpage (http://mlearn.lincoln.ac.uk/).

Applicants should have excellent computational and numerical skills and a very good first degree in computer science, biology, maths, physics, neuroscience, or a related discipline.
