    <![CDATA[Cortical Neuroinformatics Laboratory at the Center for Integrative Neurosciences (CIN) at the University of Tuebingen (Germany) is looking for a highly motivated and bright PhD students. 

Our group is part of the newly established interdisciplinary scientific environment (http://www.cin.uni-tuebingen.de). Research in the lab is focused on the mechanisms of learning and memory. Specifically, we are exploring the mechanisms of information transfer within and between the neocortex and hippocampus. Our approach employs simultaneous recordings in different cortical areas in behaving rats with state-of-the-art multichannel electrodes followed by advanced signal processing and data mining. Detailed neurophysiology will be combined with precise control of animal ‘s behavior and perturbation of neural activity using optogenetic approach.

Applicants are expected to be creative, communicative and capable of independent analytical thinking. Background in biology/physiology and/or math/physics/engineering/computer science is required. Experience in animal physiology (electrophysiology in particular), animal behavior or data analysis (signal processing, multivariate statistics etc) is not mandatory, but would be a plus.

Applications should include a CV, a brief statement of research experience and interests, academic achievements and names of at least 2 referees. Please, send your application electronically as a single .pdf file to Dr Anton Sirota (anton.sirota@cin.uni-tuebingen.de).
