OPEN POSITIONS:
- Wiring in Drosophila brain (in collaboration with D. Chklovskii, Janelia Farm). Starting date: anytime
- Zebrafish behavior, Eranet SysBio postdoc contract (in collaboration with G. Sumbre. U. Straehle & E. Schneideman). Starting date: Summer 2010.
- PhD contract. Application: January 2010. Starting: Summer 2010.
We are interested in a variety of topics aiming at a quantitative understanding of how brains perform natural behaviours.
We perform creative mathematical modelling, data analysis and experimental work.
Current projects include:
- Brain wiring
- Decision-making
- Social behavior
- Tracking animals
Students and posdocs with training in Neurobiology, Physics, Mathematics or Engineering and an interest in Neurobiology or animal behaviour are encouraged to apply.
