Job description

The Inria ARAMIS Lab at the Paris Brain Institute announces several PhD scholarships funded by the European Research Council (ERC).

We welcome applications to work on the theoretical development of network science methods (Multilayer networks, Temporal networks, Network controllability), as well as application oriented data-driven research in neuroimaging and neuroscience. The ARAMIS Lab is highly interdisciplinary, hosting PhD students, postdocs and engineers with diverse backgrounds, including physics, mathematics, computer science, statistics, psychology and neuroscience. Scholarships are fully funded for 3 years. Scientific education, professional formations, as well as generous travels awards, are available throughout the PhD. Successful applicants will start from October 2020. Interested applicants are invited to visit the webpage of the principal investigator (sites.google.com/site/devicofallanifabrizio) and/or download the attached official announcement.

Available subjects

Our group is looking for PhD students in the area of network science. Our current work spans the development of network approaches for understanding brain functioning, characterizing neurological diseases, and discovering predictive biomarkers.

Basic Qualifications

We seek students motivated to explore the complexity of biological systems from a network viewpoint. The ideal candidate has a physics, mathematics, computer science or statistics MS. Familiarity with network science and neuroscience/imaging is expected.

Application Instructions

Prospective students should submit an application consisting of the following items:

• a current CV with university grades list
• a brief statement of research experience and interests
• one letter of recommendation sent by the writer to [e-mail]
