Connectionists: Postdoctoral position available in Neurodynamics

[Ricardo Gutierrez-Osuna]

ASSISTANT RESEARCH SCIENTIST
POSITION AVAILABLE

Department of Computer Science
Texas A&M University


A postdoctoral position at the level of Assistant Research Scientist is
available in the Department of Computer Science at Texas A&M University,
under the supervision of Prof. Ricardo Gutierrez-Osuna.  The appointment
will be for two years; a third year may also be available subject to
approval from the sponsor.  Salary will be competitive, depending on
qualifications and experience.  The post is available immediately.  U.S.
citizenship is required.

Candidates should have or be close to completing a Ph.D. in Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering, Computational Neuroscience, or related
disciplines.  The project will involve developing pattern recognition and
neurodynamical models to control the operation of chemical microsensor
arrays.  To accomplish the overall goal of the project, applicants must have
clearly demonstrated experience in pattern recognition, neural information
processing and dynamical systems models.  Programming experience is also a
must.  Familiarity with chemical sensors is desirable, but not essential.  

During the first year, work will be undertaken at the TAMU Pattern
Recognition and Intelligent Sensor Machines Laboratory at TAMU.  During the
second year, work will be performed jointly at TAMU and at the Process
Measurements Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology
(Gaithersburg, MD) under the supervision of Dr. Steve Semancik.

APPLICATION
To be considered for the position, applicants must submit the following
materials:

- Curriculum vitae, including a list of publications
- Statement of research interests and goals
- Sample publications (refereed)
- Three letters of recommendation, sent directly by the evaluators
-A transcript from the institution where the Ph.D. was (or will be) earned

To be assured of full consideration, all material must arrive by September
30, 2006.  Applications will continue to be accepted until the position is
filled.  Please send materials by U.S. mail or email to:
