PhD position in the Gonzalo Cogno Group

Place: Trondheim

Using as steppingstone the recently reported ultraslow periodic sequences of neural activity (see Gonzalo Cogno et al., 2023, Nature), the successful candidate will develop computational models to determine the mechanisms by which ultraslow oscillations in the MEC are generated, and how those are organized into periodic sequences. 

The Neural Dynamics and Computation group, led by Soledad Gonzalo Cogno, is a computational neuroscience group recently established at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience.

Deadline: 25th of August 2024

The institute is the only Neuroscience Kavli Institute in Europe and forms a functional entity with the independently funded Centre for Neural Computation, which is a Norwegian Centre of Excellence.

The institute currently has 10 research groups which focus on spatial coding and memory, cognitive motor function, sensory integration, statistical physics of inference and network organization, functional neuroanatomy, transgenic investigation of neural circuits, human memory/translational neuroscience, vision and navigation, circuit development and perception and cognition. 

The institute also has a wide range of teaching responsibilities. This includes the international master program in neuroscience, a bachelor course in neuroscience, and courses offered as part of the PhD program. The latter activities are embedded in the Norwegian Research School in Neuroscience (NRSN) which is coordinated at NTNU/KISN.
