(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

- 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.
