A NIDA-INSERM Fellowship opportunity in computational neuroscience of addiction, ENS, Paris

Announcing a fellowship funding opportunity through a collaborative US-French NIDA/INSERM agreement. A recent call for proposals will allow a US postdoctoral fellow, once funded, to come and work in France. The Group for Neural Theory at the Institute for the Study of Cognition, Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, France has been chosen as a potential host and will sponsor an application from a qualified candidate.

The fellow will work in the group of Boris Gutkin, which focuses on computational modelling of addictive processes. Potential project include circuit level models of drug action in the dopaminergic brain system (nicotine, alcohol and interactions), system levels models for drug affects on the interaction between the pre-frontal cortex and the basal ganglia, computational modeling of cognitive control and drug induced pathologies, computational models of drug induced homeostatic pathology and its cognitive consequences. Eventual project will be need to be developed together with the fellowship candidate at the time of application.

The scope of this special issue is to celebrate the work of the late Professor John Taylor. John began his career in 1956 as a theoretical physicist and has contributed many seminal papers and books to high-energy physics, black holes, quantum gravity and string theory. He held positions in leading Universities in the UK, USA and Europe in physics and mathematics. He created the Centre for Neural Networks at King’s College, London, in 1990 and served as its Director till the day he died. ...

Research Associate in Computational Neuroscience

Imperial College London - Department of Bioengineering

Applications are invited for an Imperial/Wellcome Trust funded Research Associate post on the development of a computational model of optogenetic modulation of neural circuits. You will be based in the Department of Bioengineering, and work jointly with Dr Simon Schultz (Department of Bioengineering) and Dr Konstantin Nikolic (Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology & Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering). The RA would join a stimulating research environment with a rich programme of seminars and discussion meetings focused on Neurotechnology. The project is highly interdisciplinary. The RA will work at the interface between mathematics, engineering, physics and the life sciences, specifically in the mathematical and computational modeling of cortical neurons expressing channelrhodopsin, halorhodospsin, ArchT or similar light-activated ion channels. The research on this project will lead to a substantial project proposal which if accepted may allow for the extension of this post for up to 3 years.

The Research Associate will have a PhD in Computational Neuroscience, Physics, Engineering or a related subject, and experience in computational modelling. The Research Associate's task will be to create mathematical models and then create computer simulations of individual cortical neurons as well as sets of neurons expressing optogenetic mechanisms. The RA will perform detailed system modeling and biophysical simulations of the experimentally determined optogenetic mechanisms, such as channelrhodopsin, halorhodospin, ArchT, etc. These models will be incorporated in models of neurons, and used for a large-scale model of optogenetic manipulation of the cortical circuit by, to the cortical microcircuit scale. The RA will study the effects of optical stimulation on a cortical column in which light sensitive ion channels have been expressed and analyse their implications for simulating brain injuries.

Call for Registration/ Extended Deadline, Multi-scale Modeling in Computational Neuroscience, September 3 - 8, 2012, University of Lübeck, Lübeck Germany

Call for Registration/ Extended Deadline

Multi-scale Modeling in Computational Neuroscience

September 3 - 8, 2012, University of Lübeck, Lübeck Germany

Application Deadline has been extended to August 22nd!

This is the final call for registration for a weeklong workshop in Luebeck Germany focused on the development and use of multi-scale realistic models in computational neuroscience.

The workshop will be a hands-on exploration of neuronal models at multiple levels of scale.  The workshop is particularly appropriate for anyone already working with a model who would like to connect that model to representations at other levels of scale.  The workshop is also relevant to software developers interested in integrating new model analysis and visualization tools into neuronal simulators.

While participants can use the simulator of their choosing, the workshop will introduce GENESIS 3 (G-3), a modular reimplementation of the GENESIS neural simulator that has capabilities uniquely suited for multi-scale modeling.

The international faculty includes:

Dr. James M. Bower (University of Texas System) who has been involved in the development of software tools for multi-scale modeling for 30 years.

Dr. David Beeman (University of Colorado) who has supported multi-scale modeling both as an instructor in numerous international courses in computational biology as well as in his role as director of the GENESIS users group.

Dr. Avrama Blackwell (George Mason University) whose modeling and experimental expertise involves the investigation of molecular synaptic mechanisms.

Dr. Hugo Cornelis (Lead GENESIS developer) with expertise both in the design and construction of multi-scale simulation systems as well as modeling at single cell and network levels.

Dr. Volker Steuber (University of Hertfordshire) with expertise in biochemical, single cell, network and systems level modeling and analysis.

Mr. Armando Rodriguez (University of Texas San Antonio) an expert in interface design and interoperability in simulations systems.

Application Deadline has been extended to August 22nd! Applications and inquiries should be sent to: gen3@gradschool.uni-luebeck.de
