Research Focus

Project description: Data analysis, computational/mathematical modelling, and theoretical investigation of neurobiological mechanisms underlying spatial orientation and navigation. Focus: Single-cell and network behavior of head-direction and grid-cell systems within the rodent entorhinal cortex.

Mentor: Dr. Martin Stemmler

Necessary skills:

  • Good understanding of mathematics / physics, in particular dynamical systems
  • Advanced coding skills (Python or C++ or Mathematica)
  • Interest in cellular, systems, and behavioral neuroscience
  • ideally, experience in data analysis, modelling, and statistical analysis
