About the Project

Applications are sought for a fully-funded PhD position to work with Dr Simon Hanslmayr (University of Birmingham, School of Psychology, http://www.memorybham.com/people/#/simon-hanslmayr/).

The project is focused on generating computational models to simulate single-neuron responses and neural oscillations in the service of memory processes. The work will build on a theoretical framework, termed the Synch/deSync Model which assumes that memory processes are implemented via cortical desynchronization and hippocampal synchronization processes (see Parish et al., 2018). The PhD student will have the opportunity to work with single-unit and EEG data recorded from the human hippocampus in patients suffering from epilepsy.

Apply for this post by sending an email with your CV and a short description (100 words) outlining your skills and motivation to Sophie Watson (Sophie Watson [Email Address Removed]).

Funding Notes

The candidate should have a strong background in computational neuroscience or related area.
