A HFSP-funded three-year postdoc position is available in the lab of Lars Chittka to build neural network models of various parts of the bee brain, in an effort to understand complex cognition in minimal circuitry terms, and to work towards whole-brain modelling (connectomics). The fellow will join a dynamic existing team of computational neuroscientists who work closely with behavioural/cognitive scientists to understand how miniature brains achieve behavioural complexity.
