💰Doctoral student in Computational Neuroscience
#phd in School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH

https://facultyvacancies.com/doctoral-position-in-computational-neuroscience,i19433.html

Neuromodulators are crucial for the brain function and while the effect of neuromodulation is relatively well studied, little is known about how neuromodulators affect the network activity dynamics. In this project we want to quantify the effects of neuromodulators on neuron/synapse properties and network structure and dynamics.

The doctoral student will be part of Dr. Kumar's research group. The research group uses computational and analytical methods to understand the dynamics and information processing in biological neuronal networks. The research in the Kumar lab is aimed at understading:

The role of oscillations and correlations in communication between different brain areas [e.g. see Hahn et al. Nature Rev. Neurosci. 2019]
Control of brain activity dynamics [e.g. see Vlachos et al. PloS Comp Bio 2016]
Interaction between neuron properties and network activity dynamics [Sahasranamam et al. Sci. Reports 2015, Spreizer et al. PloS Comp Bio 2010, Hahn et al. 2020]
Neural coding [e.g. Tauffer and Kumar 2020].

The research group is also developing mathematical models of brain diseases to understand the mechanisms underlying the emergence of disease related aberrant activity dynamics in brain diseases. More info.: https://www.kth.se/profile/arvindku/

Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Dr. Arvind Kumar

💰#PhD Position in Neuro-Bioinformatics for Central Nervous System Repair
Catholic University of Leuven


https://facultyvacancies.com/phd-position-in-neuro-bioinformatics-for-central-nervous-system-repair,i19002.html

💰#PhD position (m/f/d; E13 TV-L, 80%) in Compositional Data Synthesis
Bosch Industry-on-Campus Lab, University of Tübingen and Bosch Center for AI (BCAI)

The aim of this project is to learn how to synthesize new, previously unseen visual scenes through object compositionality. A bias to account for the compositional way in which humans structure a visual scene in terms of objects has frequently been overlooked. In this project, you will investigate object compositionality as an inductive bias for deep generative models, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs). Specifically, you will focus on how to generate novel unseen compositions of objects present in the training set.

You will be jointly supervised by Prof. Dr. Zeynep Akata from the University of Tübingen side and Dr. Anna Khoreva from the Bosch side.

The position is available immediately (but start date is negotiable), the contract is initially for three years, and remunerated according to the German salary scale 13 TVL.

نظریه اطلاعات و شبکه های پیچیده

افتخار داشتم به دعوت دکتر عبدالله پوری عزیز در مورد جنبه هایی از کارم با اساتید عزیز و دانشجویان دانشگاه کردستان و سایر عزیزانی که شرکت کردند صحبت کنم. تخصص بیشتر حاضرین کامپیوتر بود، برای همین جنبه های فیزیکی کار رُ گذرا گفتم و رسیدم به کاربرد ها.
یک بار دیگه ممنونم از دکتر عبدالله پوری و سایر اساتید و عزیزان خودم که به من گوش کردند. ضمنا خستگی صدای من به خاطر صبحونه نخوردنه. :)

What is #complexity? Wiesner will provide a compact but comprehensive overview of the different ways that systems can be complex, offering an aggregate definition. She will discuss the role of complexity measures, and why complexity cannot be captured by a single number. https://t.co/nHvi800cwW
