KTH School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC) announces a postdoctoral position in neuroinformatics in collaboration with Stockholm Brain Institute (SBI) and international partners
The Department of Computational Biology (CB) at CSC and Nada conducts research in the areas of computational neuroscience, neuroinformatics, neurocomputing, systems biology, bioinformatics and biological physics. The computational neuroscience research is specialized in modelling and simulation of the neuronal networks of the brain as well as brain-inspired computational architectures and algorithms. The methodological approaches span multiple scales, from simulation of subcellular signaling pathways to biophysically detailed or abstract modelling of large-scale neuronal networks. The group is partner of SBI and manages its computational and modelling platform.
Stockholm Brain Institute (SBI) is a brain research consortium in Stockholm with a focus on cognitive and computational neuroscience that joins research groups from Karolinska institutet, KTH, and Stockholm University.
CB currently has an opening for a postdoctoral position at Stockholm University in neuroinformatics aimed at development and use of advanced computational tools for analysis of multidimensional data produced by computational brain models. A focus is on parallel computing in a Linux environment using available high-end cluster supercomputers. The position is partly connected to SBI. Co-supervising of PhD students may take place.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 January 2011
