Science, Engineering & Technology Group of KU Leuven and the
Flemish Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) have a joint vacancy
for a full-time academic position in computational neuroscience.
We are looking for internationally oriented candidates with an
excellent research record, and with a solid background and
teaching experience in computational neuroscience. The position
is a shared appointment between the NERF Department of the
Flemish Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) on the one hand, and
the Departments of Computer Science (research unit NUMA) and of
Electrical Engineering (ESAT) (research unit STADIUS) of KU
Leuven on the other hand. Besides the teaching, all other tasks
related to this position are primarily localized and carried out
at the VIB facilities in Leuven. Active presence at those
facilities is required. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>

academic research institute founded by imec, VIB and KU Leuven,
and is becoming one of the research departments of the Flemish
Institute of Biotechnology (VIB). NERF's goal is to reveal
principles of brain and neuronal circuit function and the neural
basis of behavior and health and disease. The institute is a
pioneer and world leader in large-scale recording and imaging
techniques. Its work provides insights into the mechanistic
foundation of nervous system function and behavior, and paves
the way to better diagnostics and treatments. NERF is a member
of Leuven's vibrant neuroscience community around the Leuven
Brain Institute, the VIB Center of Brain, the KU Leuven
Departments of Neuroscience, Biology, Computer Science and
Electrical Engineering, the University Hospitals and imec. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>

STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing and Data
Analytics is a research unit in the Department of Electrical
Engineering (ESAT) of KU Leuven. Academic research in
ESAT-STADIUS focuses on mathematical engineering, where
mathematical tools from numerical linear and multi-linear
algebra, statistics and optimization are used for applications
of dynamical systems and control, signal processing, data
modeling and analytics. ESAT-STADIUS offers recognized expertise
in diverse application fields such as industrial automation,
audio and speech communication, digital communication,
biomedical signal and data processing, and bio-informatics.
ESAT-STADIUS attracts competitive research funding through
regional, national and European funding channels, such as the
European Research Council ERC. In addition, ESAT-STADIUS has a
large number of collaborative projects with industry, which has
also resulted in the founding of several spin-off companies. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
