This project focuses on the generation of pathological beta band oscillations in basal ganglia and their susceptibility to suppression by means of pharmacological challenges or deep brain stimulation. Specifically, this projects aims to model dynamics in basal ganglia &#8211; thalamus &#8211; cortex loops drawing on computational neuroscience approaches and data deriving from other work packages within the research consortium.<\/p>\n<p>We are seeking for a candidate with a master\u00b4s degree in physics, mathematics or computer science. The candidate will develop microscopic network models and will be supervised by the projects leaders, particularly by a postdoctoral fellow supervising the entire work package as well as Prof. Morrison. Programming expertise is appreciated. The candidate will be primarily based at the J\u00fclich Research Center to foster interactions with theoretical neuroscientists. In addition, the candidate is expected to work jointly with project partners at the University Clinic of Cologne.<\/p>\n<p>We offer a position in a creative and international team, themes ranging from computational neuroscience to simulation technology.
