Přehled

Several postdoctoral positions are available in the Complex Networks and Brain Dynamics group (COBRA) at the Institute of Computer Science, Prague (Czech Republic). These positions are part of a larger, interdisciplinary consortium that was recently recommended for funding (OPJAK BRADY). The project topics include:

Topic 1: Detailed biophysical modelling of neurotransmitter action (supervised by Pavel Sanda).

Topic 2: Computationally efficient mean-field models of cortical microcircuits (supervised by Helmut Schmidt).

Topic 3: Whole-brain dynamics with applications particularly to schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease (supervised by Gustavo Deco).

Topic 4: Data-driven model inversion and personalized parameter identification (supervised by Nikola Jajcay).

Topic 5: Modelling interventions into arousal dynamics (supervised by Jaroslav Hlinka).

Other related topics may be considered based on their fit to the overall project.
