   PhD Studentship in Computational Neuroscience at University College
   London

    

   Applications are invited for a 3 year PhD Studentship in Computational
   Neuroscience in Professor Silver's Laboratory, Department of
   Physiology, University College London, UK.  The studentship will cover
   fees and provide a stipend of £14,709 rising to £15,453 per year.

    

   The project will explore signal processing in the cerebellum using
   biologically realistic network models. This will involve using an
   advanced software tool, neuroConstruct created in the Silver Lab, for
   constructing biologically realistic neural networks in 3D space
   ([1]http://www.neuroConstruct.org). Development of large scale network
   models will also require software development, particularly in a
   parallel computing environment. The successful candidate will join a
   multidisciplinary team of experimental biologists, physicists and
   computational biologists.

   pattern recognition by Purkinje cells. Neuron 54, 121-136.


   Applicants should have excellent computational skills and a good
   degree in mathematics, computer science, physics or biological
   sciences. Previous experience in neuroscience is not required but
   would be an advantage. Applications including a CV, the contact
   details of two referees and a short statement of research interests
   should be sent by email to Angus Silver ([2]a.silver at ucl.ac.uk).
