Dear colleagues,

a PhD position on spiking neural network theory is available in the 
group of Tilo Schwalger at the Technical University Berlin and the 
Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin 
(https://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~schwalge), Germany.

The position is offered in the context of the DFG project The Role of 
Long-Range Brain Connectivity in Human Language Processing (ConnLingua), 
a collaboration between the Technical University Berlin, the Max-Planck 
Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig), the 
Technical University Chemnitz, and the Czech Acedemy of Science (Prague).

Within this project, we will use spiking neural network models for 
cortical microcircuits, models of working memory and advanced mean-field 
methods to elucidate the neural mechanisms of syntactic language operations.

At the Bernstein center, we offer a structured program guiding doctoral 
researchers through the PhD work and plenty of opportunities for 
collaborations. The PhD student will also benefit from intensive 
scientific interactions among researchers of the different labs of the 
project.

The position is funded for 3 years. Applications are invited until 
January 16. For more details, please see

Please share within your networks.

Best,

Tilo
