The Gonalves lab is a recently founded research group at the NeuroElectronics Flanders (NERF) Belgium coaffiliated with the VIB Center for AI & Computational Biology. We are currently exploring a range of exciting topics at the intersection between computational neuroscience and probabilistic machine learning. In particular we develop machine learning methods to derive mechanistic insights from neuroscience data and apply them to challenging neuroscience problems: from the retrieval of complex inputoutput functions of biophysicallydetailed single neurons to the full characterisation of mechanisms of compensation for perturbations in neural circuits 13. We work in an interdisciplinary collaborative and supportive work environment which emphasizes diversity and inclusion.
NERF is a joint research initiative by imec VIB and KU Leuven.
We are looking for a postdoc candidate interested in using computational methods to study the remarkable robustness of neural systems. This project will make use of our previously developed machine learning methods and toolbox (e.g. 23) and depending on the selected candidates interests can involve further method development. There will be flexibility to customise the project and ample opportunities to collaborate with top experimental and theoretical partners locally and internationally.
