the leading programs are at
Brandeis Univ
Cal Tech
UCSD/Salk
New York Univ - Center for Neural Science (http://cns.nyu.edu)
and likely emerging at
UCSF
Johns Hopkins - Mind/Brain Institute

[Note from the moderator - I've heavily edited this to keep it short,
in view of the fact that many of these announcements were previosuly

Dear Colleague,
The Mathematics Department will have a large number of openings
for graduate students in the coming year. Since we would like to
attract the best possible students, I would very much appreciate
it if you could encourage students interested in pursuing work
in Mathematical Biology to apply here. You might suggest that
they contact me via email and I will see that they obtain the
necessary forms. Our deadline for applications is March 1.

Graduate Student and Postdoc Positions available in Computational Neuroscience
Connectionist Modelling Group
Department of Computer Science
Technical University of Berlin, Germany
The positions are available beginning June 1st for a maximum of five years
(grad.-student) and two years (postdoc) at the Technical University in
Berlin, Germany. The graduate position is a full BAT IIa position but
involves four hours per week teaching of graduate courses in neural networks
for CS and physics students.
The applicants are expected to work on close-to-biology computational models
of primary visual cortex. The first project involves the modelling of
activity dependent and intrinsic developmental processes underlying the
formation of orientation and ocular dominance in striate cortex. The second
project involves building a detailled model of layer IVc in macaque striate
cortex which is the primary cortical layer for receiving the thalamic
afferents. Data are available through an ongoing collaboration with
neurophysiologists (G. Blasdel, Harvard) and neuroanatomists (J. Lund, U.
London) working on the organization of macaque cortex. Computational methods
will include the analysis and simulation of connectionist type models,
spiking neuron models as well as of compartmental models of layer IVc
neurons.
Please send applications (CV, list of publications, copies of diplomas and
grades and statement of research interests) as well as three letters of
reference to
Dr. Klaus Obermayer phone: 49-521-106-6058

The Zanvyl Krieger Mind/Brain Institute at Johns Hopkins University is
an interdisciplinary research center devoted to the investigation of
the neural mechanisms of mental function and particularly to the
mechanisms of perception: How is complex information represented and
processed in the brain, how is it stored and retrieved, and which
brain centers are critical for these operations?

A graduate research assistantship is available for up to 3 years to
conduct research in the "Neural Control of Locomotion" at the Center
for Biomedical Engineering, University of Kentucky. Students have
to be accepted into the Ph.D./MS program starting Fall 1996
(August). The assistantship is available to citizens of all
nations.
The research is to examine the dynamical interaction between the
brain and the spinal cord in the control of locomotion, in
particular, swimming in a lower vertebrate. Traditional
neurophysiological experimental techniques will be complimented by
techniques from non-linear signal processing and control. In conjunction, the
behavior of connectionist/biophysical neural network models will be
examined and analyzed using tools from dynamical systems theory.
If interested, send CV, and names of two references, preferably by
email or Fax to:
