<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"> The Computational
Neurophysics lab at the University of Bremen headed by Dr. Udo
Ernst offers - under the condition of job release - at the
earliest possible date a position until 30.09.2024: </p>

Assistant in Computational Neuroscience (f/m/d)</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">German federal pay
scale E13 TV-L (65 %)</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">for the research

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>I-See2 -
Improving Intracortical Visual Prostheses Using Complex Coding
and Spontaneous Activation States</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><br>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">The lives of many
individuals are strongly impaired by missing the sense of vision.
One putative option to help them are cortical prostheses. Such
devices record images from our environment, encode this
information into the 'language' of the brain, and stimulate neuron
populations in the visual system for creating a corresponding
percept.</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><br>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">I-See2 (<a

investigates new principles for building cortical prostheses in an
international group with researchers from Canada, Switzerland and
Germany. Your position will be at the heart of the project in
Bremen, where computational methods are developed and data from
our partner labs comes together. You will perform modelling of
visual information processing, analysis of data from
electrophysiological multielectrode recordings and optical voltage
imaging, and be involved in model-driven visual stimulus
generation for animal and human experiments. The position comes
with direct supervision by the principal investigators and project
coordinators Dr. David Rotermund and Dr. Udo Ernst.</p>

</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 degree in Computational Neurosciences, Physics,
Computer Sciences or in related fields. They must have a strong
background in neural networks, dynamical systems, mathematics
and/or data analysis, and be experienced in programming
(preferably in Python/Matlab). Above all, they 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"><br>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">The Computational
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
