Post-Doc Position

[Bartlett Mel]

 	      --------- POSITION AVAILABLE ----------

	      Computation and Neural Systems Program
	        California Institute of Technology

A post-doctoral position will be available for Fall 1993 to work
collaboratively on the development of a biologically-inspired system
for 3-D visual object recognition.  The position will be for one year
with a possibility for renewal.  The goal of the project is to
construct an integrated software/hardware system for viewpoint
invariant recognition of a large repertoire of real 3-D objects.  The
project will involve ideas and techniques from statistical pattern
recognition and neural network learning, but with a strong emphasis on
algorithms of relevance to biological vision, learning, and memory.

Proficiency in a UNIX/C programming environment is necessary.  Any of
the following additional qualities is desirable: 1) knowledge of
neurobiology and/or psychology of human and animal vision, 2)
knowledge of classical computer vision techniques, and 3) experience
in building large-scale software/hardware systems, particularly
X-windows-based programming.  Salary is $30,000/year.

Interested applicants should send a letter describing their background
and interests, a CV, a few relevant publications, and three letters of
recommendation to:
