[Comp-neuro] Postdoc/PhD position: Biologically inspired DNN for neuronal and behavioral analyses.

[Luczak, Artur]

Dear All,

Our lab seeks highly motivated individuals with strong computational 
backgrounds to work at the interface of neuroscience and machine 
learning. We are especially interested in application of deep neural 
networks to improve our understanding of neuronal data, and application 
of recent neuroscience findings to improve performance of deep neural 
networks. In our lab we also record activity of hundreds of neurons in 
normal and epileptic animals, and successful candidate is welcome to 
participate in those projects. Preferred candidate should have strong 
background in modeling neurons and networks, and should be very familiar 
with models of synaptic plasticity (e.g. BCM). Our lab at the Canadian 
Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience in Lethbridge is located in the 
sunniest area of Canada and next to scenic Rocky Mountains. For more 
information please contact: Artur Luczak (Luczak at uleth.ca)
