PhD position on statistical theory for biological neural networks

4 maanden geleden


Enschede, Nederland University of Twente Voltijd

The statistics research group at the University of Twente invites applications for one PhD (four years) and two postdoc positions (up to 3 years). These positions are part of an ERC consolidator grant. The aim of the research program is to generalize the recent statistical theory from artificial neural networks to biological neural networks. While deep learning is inspired by the functioning of the brain, there are distinctive differences in terms of the underlying network structures and the learning. If the research is successful, it has the potential to provide insights into how the brain learns and may lead to recommendations on how to make AI more efficient with less data. The project is one out of four ERC CoG 2023 projects, that have been highlighted by the .

Your profile

You are an enthusiastic and highly motivated researcher. You have, or you will shortly acquire, a Master in Statistics, Mathematics, or similar. You have a creative mindset and excellent analytical and communication skills. You have a good team spirit and like to work in an interdisciplinary and internationally oriented environment. You are fluent in English.

Our offer

As a PhD candidate at UT, you will be appointed to a full-time position for four years, with a qualifier in the first year, within a very stimulating and exciting scientific environment; The University offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues; Your salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labour agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU); You will receive a gross monthly salary ranging from € 2.770,- (first year) to € 3.539,- (fourth year); There are excellent benefits including a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, and a solid pension scheme; A minimum of 232 leave hours in case of full-time employment based on a formal workweek of 38 hours. A full-time employment in practice means 40 hours a week, therefore resulting in 96 extra leave hours on an annual basis. Free access to sports facilities on campus. A family-friendly institution that offers parental leave (both paid and unpaid); You will have a training programme as part of the Twente Graduate School where you and your supervisors will determine a plan for a suitable education and supervision; We encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence, while collaborating with close colleagues, researchers and other staff.
