Phd studentship available in computational neuroscience and consciousness

Large-Scale Computational Models of Thalamocortical Systems Underlying Consciousness.

Funding is available (for UK/EU applicants) for a three-year full-time D.Phil. (Ph.D) in the area of computational neuroscience and consciousness, supervised by Dr. Anil Seth and Prof. Owen Holland. The successful candidate will develop a large-scale computational model of human thalamocortical systems using Graphics/ /Processor Unit (GPU) technology, and will use the model to investigate the neuronal consequences of simple psychophysical manipulations. The position will suit a candidate highly qualified in software engineering with a strong interest, and preferably prior training, in computational neuroscience and consciousness science. Sussex has one of the highest concentrations of expertise in consciousness science in the world, and this research area is growing rapidly within the University. 

For more information and for how to apply please visit http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AAN013/research-studentship/. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Seth (a.k.seth at sussex.ac.uk).  Closing date for applications is Feb 20, 2010.
