           Post Doc Positions Available
     at Brain Science Research Center

Korean Ministry of Science and Technology just initiated a 10 year national
research program on Braintech'21, which consists of neuroscience,
cognitive science, and artificial neural networks. The Brain Science
Research Center (BSRC) is selected as the main research organization
for the Braintech'21. Although the BSRC is located at Korea Advanced
Institute of
Science and Technology (KAIST) at Taejon, Korea (South), it supports the
whole
Korean brain research community. More than 70 professors and researchers
from all over the Korea are affiliated to the BSRC.

Several Post Doc positions are available starting from November 1998 or
later.
The research areas cover all aspects of neuroscience, cognitive science,
and artificial neural networks. Currently we have 3 inter-disciplinary
projects and 6 basic-research projects.

o Interdicsiplinary Projects
   - artifical vision and speech recognition system
     (from biological models to hardware implementations, i.e.
      artificial retina and artificial cochlea chips)
   - inferrence system
     (from biology to neural network models)
   - EEG classification system
o Basic-research projects
   - Neuroscience: molecular level
   - Neuroscience: system level
   - Cognitive science
   - Artificial neural network models
   - Neuro-chip hardware impementation
   - Neural network applications (control and telecommunications)
