PhD studentship in Computational Visual Neuroscience – How Specific Classes of Retinal Cells Contribute to Vision: a Computational Model

[Bruno Cessac]

PhD  studentship  in  Computational  Visual  Neuroscience  – How  Specific  Classes  of  Retinal  Cells  Contribute  to  Vision: a Computational Model

The studentship is part of a new interdisciplinary project funded by the Leverhulme Trust to  investigate how different groups of retinal cells contribute to the encoding of visual scenes. It is at the interface between experimental neuroscience (Institute  of  Neuroscience  in  Newcastle  University, UK, E. Sernagor’s lab http://www.ncl.ac.uk/ion/) and computational neuroscience (B.  Cessac’s  lab,  INRIA,  Sophia  Antipolis,  France; https://team.inria.fr/biovision/). The studentship is for three years, starting in October 2017. It covers student fees and maintenance as well as funds for travelling between the two teams and conference expenses.

The deadline for application is june 15th, 2017
