PhD Student (Computational Neuroscience)

The principal investigator (PI) is forming a new laboratory for computational neuroscience in the Department of Neuroscience at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU). His research interest includes
1) computational modelling for neural phenomena, and;
2) brain-inspired machine learning algorithms.

He is looking for a Ph.D. student with a relevant background. Ideal candidates should have appropriate knowledge of Neuroscience and proper quantitative skills for mathematical modelling. However, candidates having experience in either Neuroscience or quantitative science and interested in Computational Neuroscience are also welcome.

The university and the PI will jointly provide a studentship according to the university’s standards (HK$17510/m). Candidates can also apply for the Hong Kong Ph.D. Fellowship Scheme ( https://cerg1.ugc.edu.hk/hkpfs/index.html ).

CityU is ranked 7th amount the world’s top young universities according to the Nature Index 2021 Young University.
