[ICMNS] Postdoc/Junior researcher positions in Computational Neuroscience within the BRADY project

[Helmut Schmidt]

Several postdoctoral positions are available in the Complex Networks and 
Brain Dynamics group (COBRA) at the Institute of Computer Science, 
Prague (Czech Republic). These positions are part of a larger, 
interdisciplinary consortium that was recently recommended for funding 
(OPJAK BRADY). The project topics include:

Topic 1: Detailed biophysical modelling of neurotransmitter action 
(supervised by Pavel Sanda).
Topic 2: Computationally efficient mean-field models of cortical 
microcircuits (supervised by Helmut Schmidt).
Topic 3: Whole-brain dynamics with applications particularly to 
schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease (supervised by Gustavo Deco).
Topic 4: Data-driven model inversion and personalized parameter 
identification (supervised by Nikola Jajcay).
Topic 5: Modelling interventions into arousal dynamics (supervised by 
Jaroslav Hlinka).
Other related topics may be considered based on their fit to the overall 
project.
