Across thirteen new projects, scientists in RTG 2906 will investigate the neuropsychological, biological and computational underpinnings of curiosity. The training network comprises a highly interdisciplinary consortium of psychologists and biologists as well as systems neuroscientists and physicists, who will work together to answer three broad research questions: (A) _When_ are we curious? (B) _Why_ are we curious? and (C) _How_ are we curious? The PhD position advertised here will explore **how and under which conditions should neural networks change their learning strategies for curious learning?** The PhD researcher will work together with the group of **Prof. Viola Priesemann** jointly at the University Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization.

**Your profile**:

- M.Sc. degree (or equivalent), preferably in Physics, or in Neuroscience, Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, Machine Learning

**What we offer**:

- Enrolment in a training programme suited to individual needs and goals, as well as regular retreats, and summer schools
- Ample funding for conferences and external laboratory visits
- Structured supervision by an interdisciplinary Thesis Advisory Committee
- A highly interdisciplinary and collaborative, team-oriented research environment
- High performance computing infrastructure
- The opportunity to participate in teaching

RTG 2906 is based in Göttingen, a university town with 28,000 students across all disciplines. The Göttingen Campus has its overarching research foci in living networks, sustainability, and dynamics of change, and includes four Max-Planck Institutes, the German Primate Center, the Campus Institute for Data Science, and the Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological Networks. The thirteen doctoral projects that all start in August 2024 are spread across these Göttingen Campus institutes. The group of Viola Priesemann is located at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, with close ties to the University of Göttingen, and the Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging.
