PhD Student in Biologically Inspired Computational Visual Neuroscience
€ 3.059 - € 3.881 per maandTijdelijk
Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW)
About the project The human brain is folded in a unique way, much like a fingerprint. These folding patterns vary substantially across individuals and are often altered in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Yet one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience remains unanswered: why does the brain fold at all? In this NWO-funded project, we will investigate whether individual brain folding patterns reflect computational principles that optimize neural communication and brain organization. We hypothesize that cortical folding minimizes the wiring required between functionally connected neural populations, creating a personalized neural architecture for each individual. To test this hypothesis, we will combine ultra-high field MRI, population receptive field (pRF) modeling, network analysis, and large-scale simulations. Using the visual system as a model, we will quantify how cortical folding, functional organization, connectivity, and brain organization interact to shape information processing in the human brain. The project lies at the intersection of visual neuroscience, computational neuroscience, brain imaging, and network science. It aims to establish a new framework for understanding how biological structure supports neural computation and brain organization in individual human brains. By comparing observed brain organization with thousands of simulated alternative configurations, we will determine whether natural folding patterns represent computationally efficient solutions tailored to each person. As a PhD candidate, you will develop and apply computational models of brain organization, analyse high-resolution neuroimaging data, and test fundamental theories about how brain structure and function interact. The project offers a unique opportunity to combine theory-driven neuroscience, advanced neuroimaging, and large-scale computational approaches.
Depending on education and experience the minimum salary is € 3.059 gross and the maximum salary is € 3.881 gross per month for a full-time appointment (scale P from the Cao Dutch Universities/KNAW). This is exclusive of 8% vacation allowance, 8.3% year-end bonus, travel allowance, internet allowance, home working allowance and pension accrual with ABP. The KNAW offers its staff an excellent package of secondary benefits. A package that meets the different needs of employees depending on their stage of life, lifestyle or career ambitions. For example, by working an extra two hours a week, it is possible to increase the number of days off from 29 to 41 days a year (with full-time employment).
