Going to Bonn I still did not received 18d visa, and to my request about the date they answered that they don't know and that research visa is usually could be done in 3 months I need to have a visa before the September first. There is no problem to start a contract later, but i need to start exactly at September bcz o need to pass the exam on animal experimentation, which is only once in a year for employed people It was super fast decision to go to Germany. It was hard to leave the place that became a home for me, and my precious people. I don't know when I come back, as the path is long and expensive. First time I took flixbus, and it is 17hs (!). I mean... It is still better than the same amount of time but changing train stations, stressing about German trains and carrying all the stuff

#vacancies@Sci_Neuro_Life Postdoctoral and graduate research positions are available in the Muller Lab (http://mullerlab.io), starting August 2026 at the University of Texas at Dallas. Research will span computational analyses of neural data and applied mathematics to understand computation in neural networks. Researchers will collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams on traveling waves in neural systems (link), analyses of spikes in large neural populations (link), and spatiotemporal computation in recurrent neural networks (link). The lab also has an ongoing presence at the Fields Institute through the Lab for Network Computation. Recent publications from the lab include a review on traveling waves in neural systems, focusing on circuit mechanisms for spatiotemporal organization of spiking and synaptic activity in single regions of cortex, and how traveling waves can generate computations in artificial neural networks modeling these systems. Prior experience with scientific computing, signal analysis, and applied mathematics is preferred. UT Dallas offers an outstanding research environment, with strong programs in systems and computational neuroscience. Candidates can write to lyle.muller@utdallas.edu with a CV and short statement of interest.

Right now I'm on my way to Portugal. I want to rest after the summer schools and before phd. I am leaving Bordeaux, which is suffering from falling ash and burn smell. There are several nearby wildfires, one of which is so large (98000 hectares) that it caused the closure of Bordeaux Airport and the A63 motorway. I am really worrying about nature and people's fate close to this area Yesterday, we could barely see the sun, the sky had a dirty yellow glow, like in the apocalypse and ash covered the trees on our terrace. Our bus to Lisbon was supposed to travel via the A63, but because that section was closed, we had to take a long detour through small roads while the radio kept broadcasting emergency warnings. It added several hours to our journey, but we're finally in Portugal and getting closer to Lisbon. #traveling@Sci_Neuro_Life #Portugal@Sci_Neuro_Life

#vacancies@Sci_Neuro_Life Searching for Postdoc or Graduate student to Washington University School of Medicine The emergence of spontaneous activity during cortical development Labs of Geoff Goodhill and Linda Richards Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis We are looking for a Postdoc or Graduate student to analyze and model the emergence of early patterns of spontaneous neural activity in developing cortex. We are interested in questions such as whether functionally distinct areas show common or distinct initial activity patterns, and how these patterns relate to subsequent function. This project is based on data from the dunnart (an Australian marsupial), an animal model which offers unique advantages over rodents for studying early activity since dunnarts are born at a much earlier stage of brain development. Our initial work on this project is described in https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2208654120 . We are now using 2-photon imaging of soma-targeted GCaMP8m which offers data with much higher resolution and detail. The postdoc/student will work between the Goodhill and Richards labs, which are both located in a new 60,000 m^2 building dedicated entirely to neuroscience research which opened in 2023. USNews currently ranks Washington University =6th in the world for Neuroscience and Behavior. Applicants should have a strong math/engineering background and an interest in neuroscience, particularly spontaneous activity and the developing brain. To apply send a detailed CV including names of at least 3 referees and a cover letter explaining your interest in the position to g.goodhill@wustl.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately. Potential graduate students please note that there is an upcoming deadline of Aug 1st for applications to relevant Engineering graduate programs at WashU.

#vacancies@Sci_Neuro_Life Postdoc position in Surrey (UK): Research Fellow in Clinical Neuroscience, Sleep and Dementia The postholder will contribute to an exciting international, multi‑centre research programme investigating the neural mechanisms underlying sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances in Parkinson’s disease. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team in Surrey and Oxford, and with collaborators across the ASAP Collaborative Research Network (CRN), an international, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional network working to address high-priority research questions about Parkinson's disease, supported by ASAP, in partnership with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF). The role: We are seeking an outstanding Research Fellow to help spearhead research to understand the relationship between EEG-defined oscillations during sleep and excessive sleepiness during the daytime in people living with Parkinson's and to develop and implement neuromodulation approaches to alleviate daytime sleepiness. The project is funded by Aligning Science Across Parkinson's and the William J. Fox Foundation, and will be conducted at the Surrey Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey. The research is part of a collaborative effort between researchers at the Universities of Surrey, Oxford, Harvard and Zurich. The successful applicant will, together with other researchers and clinical staff members, be responsible for conducting the clinical research protocol, analyses of EEG and behavioural data, delivering neuromodulation interventions, and preparing publications. Candidates are expected to hold a PhD in Neuroscience or related subject area, have experience in clinical neuroscience research and have excellent data analysis and programming skills. The successful applicant will be an active member of the Surrey Sleep Research Centre, and is expected to collaborate closely with researchers at Oxford, Harvard and Zurich. About you: Crucial skills include EEG analysis and programming. Desirable skills are prior experience of working with human participants patients, particularly those with Parkinson's, dementia, or other cognitive disorders, experience in assessing cognitive function using standardised and experimental tasks, conducting non-invasive brain stimulation and/or EEG recording procedures. However, the role involves substantial training to bring the research fellow to the highest level of competence in those research approaches.

Creating external working memory to replace my own non working one haha I have been trying to tune it from 5 am ohhh. And presentation of projects in 3 days good damnit And I need to tell you also about school, yeah h will try to find time today I am also in parallel trying to find a job for summer and plan a trip to Portugal. multitasking)))

a little bragging

I am running out of time these days. With working on my project, keeping up with summer school lectures, and planning a trip across Canada after the program ends, I am operating in energy-saving mode. I'll probably talk more about the school today or tomorrow. Let me know what is interesting the most for you, i wil cover it. For now, just a reminder that I have a branch channel where I drop books, articles, and other materials. I use it both for resources related to my current tasks/projects and for interesting articles which end up on my waiting list haha One day I'll get through all of them... one day. You are very welcome to join https://t.me/Neuro_Life_Info

That's what happened in Paris that day: https://t.me/Ateobreaking/170991?single
