motor control. The Fellows will join a team investigating planning,
control and learning of skilled action.One Research Fellow will work
on modelling of the motor system using optimal control and Bayesian
approaches and should have a background in a computational field
(e.g. Computational Neuroscience, Engineering, Physics, Maths).  The
other will work on psychophysical studies of human motor control and
should have a background in an experimental field (e.g. Neuroscience,
Psychology).  Applicants should ideally have a PhD, plus technical
expertise and computational skills relevant to the study of human
movement.  Further details of both posts and laboratory facilities can
