Connectionists: Post-doctoral position at the University of Barcelona

[Agustin Gutierrez Galvez]

The Intelligent Signal Processing group at the University of Barcelona
is looking for a Post-doctoral researcher to work in the area of
biologically inspired signal processing for the following 3 years.
This position will be funded through the FP7 project NEUROCHEM, which
involves 9 European Universities and research centres coordinated by
the University of Barcelona.

Research

The postdoctoral researcher will conduct research in the area of
biologically inspired processing mechanisms applied to machine
olfaction. The study and modelling of the olfactory system can provide
new mechanisms to process the chemical information provided by a
matrix of non-specific gas sensors.

Requirements

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research to be conducted,
candidates of multiple backgrounds will be considered, including
Signal processing, chemometrics, neural networks, neural computation,
and computational neuroscience. A perfect candidate for this position
would be familiar with all this subjects. Good command of English is
