Open PhD Position in Computational & Systems Neuroscience : 'Neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in visual cortical circuits'

⏰ Deadline: January 28, 2026.

Do mice dream of virtual lice?

We are recruiting a PhD student to work on neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in mouse vision, co-supervised by Ede Rancz (INMED) and myself.

Project Overview

This CENTURI project combines:

  • Computational modeling (spiking and normative models)
  • In vivo electrophysiology, imaging, behavior, and optogenetics
  • Investigation of how serotonin and noradrenaline shape prediction error signaling during sensory-motor mismatch

Candidate Profile

  • Motivated individual with a background in neuroscience or computational sciences
  • Experience in either experimental in vivo work or modeling (Python, neural networks)
  • Interest in working at the interface of theory and biology

Application Details

📄 Full project description 📬 Application form :rainbow_heart: We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and celebrate diversity and free creative thinking in our research environment.

Please share this opportunity or contact us directly if you know strong candidates who would thrive in this interdisciplinary environment.
