Grad students & postdocs 👉 apply by May 7 for two #neuroscience workshops at Janelia. Present your work, engage in lively discussion + explore early-career paths. Theoretical Neuroscience ➡️ janelia.news/THE26 Mechanistic Cognitive Neuroscience ➡️ janelia.news/CNW26

Apply by May 7 for two early-career #neuro workshops @HHMIJanelia! Featuring joint sessions to foster collaboration & bridge the gap between theory & experiment. 🧠🤝 Theoretical Neuroscience→ janelia.news/THE26 Mechanistic Cognitive Neuroscience→ janelia.news/CNW26

📢 Applications are open! We invite students & postdocs in #TheoreticalNeuroscience to join us for in-depth tutorials, talks & discussions, plus joint sessions in mechanistic cognitive neuroscience to bridge theory & experiment. 🛏️ Hotel, meals + reasonable travel expenses covered Apply by May 7 ➡️ janelia.news/THE26 @hhmi_science @HHMIJanelia

Excited to share my first paper from Inagaki Lab @MPFNeuro! How does the “timer” in our brain control movement? We discovered specialized computational roles of the frontal cortex and striatum that implement such an action timer⏱️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨Preprint‼️ 1/ Predicting neural activity is notoriously difficult and requires complicated models. Here we develop simple “minimodels” which explain 70% of neural variance in V1! 🐭🐒 #neuroai @computingnature @marius10p @NunezKant Paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Recording 🔬 :

Join us in November to present your research, build community, & dive into detailed technical discussions with peers in theoretical #neuroscience 🧠 ✈️  Hotel, meals & travel fully covered Apply by June 20 @ janelia.news/THE24 @HHMIJanelia @ratecoding @_mlechha @michnard_

📣Apply now to become a member of our team! We study how experience and context shape neural dynamics to guide behavior🐭🧠--> fens.org/careers/job-ma…

🚨Applications are now open🚨 for the Junior Scientists Workshop on Recent Advances in Theoretical Neuroscience at @ictpnews (June 2024). Check out the list of invited speakers 👇 (orga with @sebastiangoldt, @ai_ngrosso and Francesca Mastrogiuseppe) indico.ictp.it/event/10481/

Mathematical Approaches for Connectome Analysis Applications still open for the workshop: ipam.ucla.edu/MAC2024

I have funding for studying human memory using AI-based tools, in particular LLMs (large language models), in my group at the Weizmann Institute. If you are interested to join this project as a PhD student or a postdoc, please contact me.

📢 Multiple postdoctoral positions in Theoretical Neuroscience available at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (PI: A Palmigiano) to develop both normative and data-driven theoretical approaches to link dynamics and computation. Apply by Jan 16! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

#postdoc and #phdposition available in my lab in Marseille @centuri_ls & @inmed_u1249 🎉🎉 If you are interested in building models of brain computations and developing data analysis tools with cool experimental collaborators, please apply! More info: bit.ly/3MRGiVu

Recently wrote an introduction to reinforcement learning for neuroscience that I just put on arXiv for those who might find it useful: arxiv.org/abs/2311.07315 It also includes a Google Colab with all the code: tinyurl.com/4wypnc5d

✈️ #SfN23! The Dipoppa Lab @UCLA is looking for 1-2 postdocs in Computational Neuroscience dipoppalab.com/join-us We develop theories and models of neural dynamics and computations. Exciting collaborations with experimental labs. DM me or visit poster FF3 on Nov 15 afternoon.

Happy to share our new work with Antonios Georgiou, Tankut Can and Mikhail Katkov on using large language models for studying human memory for meaningful narratives: arxiv.org/abs/2311.04742

🚨 We are recruiting postdocs! 🚨 Projects in our lab use a combination of experimental and computational techniques to study mouse visual behaviors and large-scale neural dynamics. See the new lab website: mouseland.github.io

Now that we @UChicago_Brains just hired 2 faculty in Computational Neuroscience we are addicted to it. We will be hiring 2 more faculty this round in Comp Neuro - one in the Department of Neurobiology and one in the Department of Physics. Please apply! apply.interfolio.com/133134

We are growing our already significant footprint in Theory and Modeling of Living Systems livingtheory.emory.edu. The group is anchored in Physics and Biology, with additional faculty in other departments. This year we are hiring a theorist in Biology apply.interfolio.com/131940

We still have a postdoc position in my lab at @HHMIJanelia where we use approaches like this to figure out how mice can quickly learn flexible computations by building and using models of their environment. Get in touch if this sound fun and interesting!

🎉Happy to announce that I opened my computational neuroscience group at @inmed_u1249 and @centuri_ls, on the wonderful campus of Luminy in Marseille. We will focus on the neural dynamics of memory and learning. Contact me if interested in PhD and PostDoc positions in the lab.
