aspects of neuroscience, mathematical modelling, and neuromorphic computing. The role will involve creation and testing of new models and SpiNNaker software. The post will therefore entail the design and development of software for the SpiNNaker platform:
Python based pre-processing software, and C based software for execution on the SpiNNaker machine.</span></span></span></span></div>
