A Ph.D. studentship (3.5 years) is available for entry in September 2022 or January 2023 under the supervision of Prof Miguel Maravall in the Neuroscience subject group, School of Life Sciences.

Recent evidence from multiple labs shows that, in naturalistic behaviours, neuronal activity reflecting sensory signals, decisions and actions interacts intricately in the sensory cortex, including the primary somatosensory cortex. The aim of this project is to understand how task responses in the somatosensory cortex vary with the task being performed, how they differ across cell types, and how they contribute to an animal’s behaviour. To this end the PhD candidate will develop behavioural tasks for mice, and record and manipulate activity in targeted groups of neurons while measuring task performance.

Our lab is developing novel tasks in which mice accumulate and use sensory evidence to decide between actions, e.g. during exploration of a maze. Mice are trained to recognise associations between sequences of stimuli and potential rewards. The student will track behaviour using deep-learning tools while monitoring activity in targeted neuronal subsets using two-photon microscopy (in head-fixed task versions) or electrophysiology (in freely moving mice). This approach will enable them to answer long-standing questions about how the brain flexibly converts sensory information into decisions.

Our lab provides an inclusive and supportive environment. Students interact with other members of the close-knit local sensory neuroscience community and further opportunities for interaction and training are provided by the Sussex Neuroscience research programme, https://www.sussex.ac.uk/sussexneuroscience. Students in our lab have gone on to a diversity of careers inside and outside academia.

This university-funded position covers Home tuition fees and a stipend at standard UKRI rates. Applicants with overseas fee status will need to fund the difference between Home and International tuition fees. Ideal candidates will have recently received an MSc and/or a First or high 2:1 BSc in a relevant field, i.e. Neuroscience or a related, preferably quantitative, subject. Candidates for whom English is not their first language will require an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with not less than 6.0 in any section.

Deadline is 8th July at 23:45 UK time. Please contact Miguel Maravall (m.maravall@sussex.ac.uk) or view the following web page for more information: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/study/fees-funding/phd-funding/view/1455-Life-Sciences-PhD-Neuroscience:-Task-responses-in-the-mouse-somatosensory-cortex-during-flexible-behaviour . ✔️ @ApplyTime
Postdoctoral Fellow – Electrophysiology/fMRI Data Analysis in International Center for Primate Brain Research, Shanghai, ChinaThe International Center for Primate Brain Research (ICPBR), co-directed by Prof. Mu-Ming Poo and Prof. Nikos K. Logothetis, affiliated with the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT, http://english.cebsit.cas.cn/), the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai is a newly established international research facility for conducting highest-level primate brain research.

The Dynamic Embodied Brain Laboratory (DEB Lab) at the ICPBR seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Fellow with experience in multivariate data analysis including electrophysiological data analysis (spike and LFP), with an interest to analyze unique concurrent electrophysiology and fMRI (ePhys/fMRI) data (e.g., Nature 2012; Nature 2021), and with the possibility to also contribute to the acquisition of novel experimental data.


The DEB Lab examine the structural and functional organization of neural pathways engendering subjective awareness of feelings in humans. This examination is made in non-human primates (NHP) with specific aims relating to (1) how internal bodily states (interoception) are represented in the brain, (2) how interoception embodies emotion and shapes cognitive processes, and (3) how interoception contributes to functional network dynamics in a context that may serve access consciousness processes (Frontiers 2019). The DEB Lab combines cutting-edge methods including high-resolution tract tracing, electrophysiology, fMRI, optogenetics, and single cell Patch-Seq, with a particular interest for the von Economo neuron (Neuron 2012). Over the years, the DEB Lab has acquired unique ePhys/fMRI data that contribute to our understanding of the fundamental body-brain-mind interactions.

Postdoctoral fellowship in identification of decision-making dynamics,
jointly at Brock University and the University of Alberta, Canada


Background

Adopting or rejecting new technology, following or ignoring fashion trends, and abiding by or breaking non-pharmaceutical policies are examples of populations of interacting individuals who decide between available actions over time. The evolution of the individuals' decisions results in the so-called “decision making dynamics”. Predicting and ideally controlling the long-term behavior of the dynamics is of great interest to a wide range of scientists and policy makers because of their applications in, for example, social networks, marketing, and health management. This postdoctoral research position will develop new methods to determine the identifiability of decision-making dynamics and investigate the possibility of data fitting.


Position Requirements

A PhD degree in systems and control, applied mathematics, or a related field

Background knowledge in dynamical systems, system identification, and observer design

Reasonable programming skills

Experience in working with data

Strong writing and communication skills

A track record of successful publications


Applications

The Post Doctoral Fellow will be co-supervised by Professor Pouria Ramazi at Brock University, Canada and Professor Russell Greiner at the University of Alberta. Interested candidates should send an email to (pramazi@brocku.ca) with the subject “postdoc in identification of decision-making dynamics” and attach their CV, statement of interest and contact details of two referees that may be contacted directly. The position will remain open until they are filled with contracts starting as soon as possible. Only selected candidates will be contacted. ✔️ @ApplyTime
