We are soliciting expressions of interest for PhD positions. The research program of our “Computational Neuroscience Laboratory” has a couple of directions that may be of interest for Engineering/Computer Science/Physics/Maths students with interest in machine learning / artificial intelligence as applied to answer questions grounded in neurobiology. Our research is broadly directed towards:
i) development of neuroscience-inspired artificial intelligence schemes to understand how parts of the brain work together to implement cognition
ii) development of multi-modal (for e.g., functional MRI, diffusion MRI, EEG) and multi-scale Bayesian framework, to characterise brain network dynamics (and how these brain dynamics reorganise with different brain pathologies);
Given the high competition for international scholarships, candidates that may have already published a paper would be especially competitive.
The candidates may like to get further information on the application process here: http://www.adeelrazi.org/openings.html or get in touch by emailing: adeel.razi@monash.edu
The Monash International Doctoral Program deadline is 31st Aug, 2020. So please get in touch at 3-4 weeks in advance to discuss suitability of your profile.
With very best wishes,
Adeel
