Postdoctoral fellow/junior scientist in proof theory and algebraic logic – Ref. No. 2024/15

We seek a postdoctoral fellow or junior scientist to join the Czech Science Foundation project “Interpolation, Amalgamation, and Computation” (INTERACT), led by Dr. Wesley Fussner at the Institute of Computer Science of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

The project aims to develop an encompassing theory of interpolation across varied logical environments by unifying proof-theoretic and algebraic approaches. The successful candidate will conduct research along this theme, both individually and in collaboration with the PI and other team members.

More information on the project may be found on its webpage (http://www.wesleyfussner.com/interact.html).

Postdoc/Junior researcher positions in Prediction of parameters for energy distribution system project - Ref. No. 2024/10

A junior scientist (postdoc) position is available to join the Department of Complex system, Institute of Computer Science of the Czech Academy of Sciences (ICS CAS) for the project “Neural networks realtime forecasting of variable baseline for the power equipment at HV, LV voltage levels” (TAČR reg. No. TK05020142).

This project aims to predict the parameters of the energy distribution system based on knowledge of the evolution of the system in time and other usually time-dependent external variables such as the weather or the situation in the financial energy markets. The main objective is to apply artificial intelligence methods in this area, particularly in the field of deep learning.

Scientific positions: Senior Researcher, Researcher, Postdoctoral Fellow, Graduate student or Research assistant in Computational Neuroscience within the BRADY project - Ref. No. 2024/9

Scientific positions are available in the Complex Networks and Brain Dynamics group (COBRA) at the Institute of Computer Science, Prague (Czech Republic). These positions are centered in the Research Work Package 1 of a larger, interdisciplinary consortium established for the OPJAK BRADY project. The relevant RWP1 aims to establish a family of generative models of graded complexity capturing brain dynamics that would:

• Approximate spatial patterns observed in resting state neuroimaging, including topology and topography of functional connectivity
• Approximate temporal brain dynamics, including activity fluctuations, connectivity dynamics, and information flow
• Provide an internally consistent unified account of electrophysiological and fMRI data, linking to biologically interpretable latent variables and structural connectivity
• Allow predicting the effect of external stimulation, such as complex sensory and cognitive tasks, electric of magnetic stimulation, or pharmacological intervention
• Allow capturing the key axes of inter-subject variability, linking it to psychometric data
• Ultimately allow characterizing and predicting the trajectory of deviation from healthy brain dynamics in a range of psychiatric and neurological diseases
