Dear all,

The Computational Neuroscience Group 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.
