**Kennziffer**: A007-24
**Bewerbungsfrist**: 07.10.2024
Öffentliche Ausschreibung

The Computational Neurophysics lab at the University of Bremen headed by Dr. Udo Ernst offers at the earliest date possible:
**Research Assistant / Postdoc in Computational Neuroscience (f/m/d)**

German federal pay scale EG13 TV-L (100 %)

**limited for 3 years** (according to - 2 WissZeitVG)

**How to be flexible - organizing and optimizing**
**task-dependent information processing in the visual system**

Stellenbeschreibung

In this project we want to study organization and optimization of flexible information processing in neural networks, with specific focus on the visual system. You will use
- network modelling,
- numerical simulation,
- and mathematical analysis

to investigate fundamental aspects of flexible computation such as task-dependent coordination of multiple brain areas for efficient information processing, as well as the emergence of flexible circuits originating from learning schemes which simultaneously optimize for function and flexibility.

These studies will be complemented by biophysically realistic modelling and data analysis in collaboration with experimental work done in the lab of Prof. Dr. Andreas Kreiter, also at the University of Bremen. Here we will investigate selective attention as a central aspect of flexibility in the visual system, involving task-dependent coordination of multiple visual areas.

Voraussetzungen

The Computational Neurophysics Lab offers a good working atmosphere, direct involvement in international research and attractive facilities. You will have the opportunity to link your research to a wide range of other topics being studied in our lab, such as collective dynamics in neural systems, information processing in deep spiking networks, and the development of visual cortex prostheses.

Allgemeine Hinweise

Today, around 23,000 people learn, teach, research and work on our international campus. In research and teaching, administration and operations, we are firmly committed to the goals of sustainability, climate justice and climate neutrality. Our Bremen spirit is expressed in the courage to dare new things, in supportive cooperation, in respect and appreciation for each other. With our study and research profile and as part of the European YUFE network, we assume social responsibility in the region, in Europe and in the world.
