[Comp-neuro] Funded PhD in Computational Neuroscience - The University of Manchester

Dear All,

applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship to work on a project entitled 'Quantifying the contribution of melanopsin to the processing of complex visual information' under the supervision of Dr Marcelo Montemurro and Prof Robert Lucas at the Faculty of Life Sciences of The University of Manchester. The 3-year studentship will provide full support for tuition fees and an annual minimum tax-free stipend of £13,590. This studentship is available to UK/EU nationals only due to the nature of the funding and is due to start October 2013.

The successful applicant will work on the development of computational analysis methods based on information theory and their application to experimental data gathered at Lucas' lab. The student will also have the opportunity to receive training in experimental methods and actively participate in experiment design. The precise balance between the different types of approaches will be defined according to he the student's background and interests.
