Job Description
The PostDoctoral researcher will conduct research activities in modelling and simulation of reward-modulated prosocial behavior and decision-making. The position is part of a larger effort to uncover the computational and mechanistic bases of prosociality and empathy at the behavioral and circuit levels. The role involves working at the interface between experimental data (animal behavior and electrophysiology) and theoretical modelling, with an emphasis on Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning and neural population dynamics.
Requirements
- The ideal candidate should hold a PhD degree in Computational / Theoretical Neuroscience
- Computer Science or Physics (specialising in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence or Biophysics) or other strongly analytical fields. Documented experience with Reinforcement Learning algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks is desirable
- as well as extensive programming and scientific software development experience.
