A PhD position is open at the Dept. of Biometry and Informatics, SLU, Uppsala
Ref number 4440/01-4711
Title: Mathematical modeling, analysis and computer simulation of brain
dynamics, with special focus on EEG signals.
Project area: The project is part of a collaboration with the psychiatric
clinic at a nearby hospital. The clinic has modern equipment for continuous
measure and treatment, and data for hundreds of patients is produced. The
project objective is to relate EEG response to the effect of treatments,
and in support for the analysis, computer models and simulations of neural
networks are needed. The project also includes development of non-linear
models and analytical tools for stochastic and chaotic time series. Many
new and interesting problems can be addressed with a combination of
stochastic and deterministic modelling. Development of computational
techniques is also required to deal with the gigantic amount of data
available. The theoretical results from the project are expected to provide
new insight in how EEG signals from the brain should be interpreted and
used for prediction of clinical treatment effects.
At the Department of Biometry and Informatics, a broad and
cross-disciplinary research is carried out, including theoretical biology
and biophysics, applied mathematics, mathematical statistics/biometry, as
well as environmental and geo-informatics. In addition, there is an
extensive educational program within these areas.
Suitable background: MSc in engineering, physics, computer science, or
similar programs, or a mathematical education with focus on biology,
biomedicine or similar.
Financing: A stipend covering one year of studies, whereafter a full
graduate position is created. Both forms include, in addition to the
research work, also possibilities of 20% institutional work (such as
teaching).
