The Computational Neuroscience Group, led by Friedemann Zenke at the
Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel, Switzerland (www.fmi.ch), is
looking for a post-doctoral researcher.
Position available from the beginning of 2023 (or later).
Topics of interest include
• Learning algorithms (bio-inspired self-supervised learning and
credit assignment)
• Spiking neural networks (sparsity, neuronal complexity, efficient
training)
• Continual learning (synaptic consolidation and circuit mechanisms)
• Neuromorphic computing (online learning and dynamic neural networks)
• Information representation in biological and artificial neural
networks
See www.zenkelab.org for more information.
The position
• Conduct research in computational neuroscience and bio-inspired
machine intelligence.
• Write research articles and present them at international
conferences.
• Publish in neuroscience journals and machine learning venues such
as ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, etc.
• Interact and collaborate with experimental neuroscience groups or
neuromorphic hardware developers nationally and internationally.
Ideal profile
• You are passionate about neural networks and enjoy tackling
difficult research questions.
• You hold a Ph.D. from a related discipline and are a team player.
• You have published and possess solid analytical and programming
skills.
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written, is required.
We offer
• A diverse international work environment with room to develop
one's project.
• The option to collaborate with leading experimental groups in
circuit neuroscience.
• A vibrant lab environment with the possibility to acquire
supervision experience if desired.
• Opportunities to travel to international conferences or summer
schools.
• Competitive salary, professional career development, benefits,
and working conditions.
