<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"> The Computational
Neuroscience group at the University of Bremen headed by Prof. Dr.
Klaus Pawelzik offers - under the condition of job release - at
the earliest possible date a position until February 28, 2025</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><br>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>Research
Assistant /Postdoc in Computational Neuroscience (f/m/d)</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">German federal pay
scale E13 TV-L (100 %)</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">for the research
project</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>Efficient
Implementation of Spike-by-Spike Neural Networks using
Stochastic and ApproximativeTechniques</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><br>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">The overarching
goal of our project is to improve the efficiency of spiking
artificial neural networks using hardware and algorithmic
approximation techniques. Specifically, the project focuses on
Spike-by-Spike networks since they offer a balance between
computational requirements and biological realism which keeps the
advantages of the biological networks while enabling a compact
technical realization. To fully take advantage of the unique
features of SbS in terms of robustness and sparseness, dedicated
hardware architectures are required.</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">You would join in
with numerical simulations, theoretical analyses, as well as
through the development of new ideas and approaches for boosting
the performance and capabilities of the Spike-By-Spike model.
Furthermore, you would also work on combining Spike-By-Spike
networks with non spiking deep neuronal networks into hybrid
models.</p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>Requirements:</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">Ideal candidates
have a master's or doctorate degree in Computational
Neurosciences, Physics, Computer Sciences or in related fields.
They must have a strong background in mathematics, programming
(preferably in Python/Matlab), and machine learning as well as an
intense interest in neuroscience. An optimal candidate should not
be afraid of cooperating with engineers, since this is a joint
project with a focus on hardware development. Above all, he/she
must have a strong motivation, a sense for responsibility, a
distinct desire to learn, and the ability to proactively
collaborate in an international research environment. Fluency in
English is required (both written and spoken).</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">The Theoretical
Neurophysics Lab offers a good working atmosphere, direct
involvement in international research and attractive facilities.</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">The university is
family-friendly, diverse and sees itself as an international
university. We therefore welcome all applicants regardless of
gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion/belief,
disability, age, sexual orientation and identity.</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">As the University
of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees
in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of
equal personal aptitudes and qualification priority will be given
to disabled persons.</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">Please explicitly
address each of the specified requirements in the application.
Detailed instructions are described below. Please send your
application documents (motivation letter, CV, copy of your degree
certificates including high school, list of skills, awards,
publications, contact details of two academic reference) until
December 9th, 2022 by indicating the job id A326/22 to:</p>
