The Laboratory for Action Representation and Learning
at the Department of Cognitive Neurology and the 
Max-Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in
Tuebingen (Germany) offers a PhD  position for students
in engineering, computer science, physics or mathematics. 

Aim of the project is the development of technical methods
for the analysis of complex movements of neurological
patients. On the theory side, the project focuses on the 
development of new learning techniques for the
representation of complex movements. 
The practical side of the project includes data 
acquisition with  modern motion capture  systems, and 
the analysis and visualization  of the data using 
methods from computer vision and computer graphics. 
In addition, the successful candidate should be willing 
to communicate with neurologists and patients. 

The project will be realized in close collaboration with 
the  Department for Neurology at the Universitaetsklinik
Tuebingen. An interesting environment for computer 
vision and machine learning  is provided by the 
divisions for Virtual Reality and machine learning 
reasearch at the Max-Planck-Institute. In addition, 
the group has close contacts with the Center for 
Biological and Computational Learning at M.I.T. 

The ideal candidate has a good computational background, 
and some experience in computer vision / graphics, machine
learning, or robotics. 

Payment will be, dependent on prior experience, BAT IIa / 2
or BAT IIa for 3 years (extendable). Starting date should be 
as soon as posible. 

The position is funded by the German Volkswagen Foundation.
