Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Higher-order interactions in the brain
Contract type : Fixed-term contract
Level of qualifications required : PhD or equivalent
Fonction : Post-Doctoral Research Visit
Assignment
The project aims to develop a mathematical framework to construct higher-order networks from node dynamics, model the resulting group interactions, and experimentally validate it on neuronal recordings collected at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The expected results would fill in the gap between higher-order effects and the underlying neural mechanisms, with broad implications ranging from biologically-inspired artificial intelligence to clinical applications.
Main activities
The research will be supervised by Prof. Fabrizio De Vico Fallani (Inria Paris) and Prof. Vito Latora (Queen Mary University London) based on their established collaborations on subjects spanning both theoretical and applicative aspects of network neuroscience. The main location will be the Paris Brain Institute (Inria-ICM) with regular visiting periods at Queen Mary University London.
Skills
We seek highly motivated individuals willing to explore the complexity of biological systems from a network viewpoint. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in physics, mathematics, computer science, statistics, or engineering-related disciplines. Familiarity with biological applications, network science and neuroscience/imaging are welcome.
