Connectionists: job in machine learning and genetics at SNN

[Bert Kappen]

Postdoc position available at SNN Nijmegen.

SNN Nijmegen is a university based research group dedicated to
fundamental research in the areas of machine learning and computational
neuroscience. Specific topics are Bayesian networks, approximate inference
methods, time-series modeling, bio-informatics, expert systems, stochastic
control and collaborative decision making. The group consists currently
of 10 researchers.

In our group, we have a postdoc position available in a project on
genetic linkage analysis, which concerns the problem of finding the
genetic correlates of diseases or phenotypes in pedigrees of humans or
animals. The required computation is intractable and has recently been
succesfully improved using belief propagation (CVM). The research is
carried out in close collaboration with experimental research groups on
human genetics and animal breeding.

The requirement for the postdoc position is a PhD and publications
relevant for the above research topic. The postdoc position is full-time
for a period of 3 years.

description of the research interests.
