Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background across AI and simulation modelling? Do you have a passion to apply this knowledge to model whole brain dynamics? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities?
You will be part of the BBSRC funded multidisciplinary research project: A C. elegans whole-brain digital twin. The research work is led by the University of Leeds (Schools of Computing) and involves collaboration with an experimental lab at MIT.
You will work on the project to apply the latest mathematical tools and Machine Learning technologies to develop, implement, optimise, test and apply a simulation platform for modelling whole brain activity in C. elegans – the microscopic roundworm. You will be highly motivated in exploring the available data, developing effective optimisation methods, and using the platform to address fundamental questions in computational neuroscience and AI.
