Connectionists: PhD stipend in object/action semantics research

[Dominik Endres]

=== PHD STIPEND IN ACTION/OBJECT SEMANTICS AVAILABLE ======

A doctoral stipend for a highly motivated individual is available in the group 
of theoretical Neuroscience headed by Prof. Dr. Dominik Endres. The Group is 
located in the Department of Psychology at the Philipps-University of Marburg, 
Germany.

The stipend is for a total of 3 years given satisfactory performance. The 
stipend is intended to facilitate a scientific qualification, specifically a 
German doctorate (PhD equivalent). 

_Duties_ include active, self-motivated participation in the research and 
teaching activities of the group, in particular the installation and running 
of the new _virtual-reality_ facility of the department. This facility will be 
used for behavioral and perceptual experiments  with real and computer-
generated interaction partners, to address research questions in the area of 
movement perception, movement  control and object- and action semantics. The 
stipend holder's research interests should be broadly in this area, too.

_Prerequisites_ are a Master's degree or German Diplom in one of the following 
areas: theoretical Neuroscience, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, 
Electrical Engineering, Cognitive Science or Psychology with a minor in one of 
the aforementioned fields. Programming experience in Python, C++ or similar are 
advantageous. Applications with experience in machine learning, computer 
graphics or behavioral experimentation will be preferred. Applicants' skills 
in these areas will be  tested as a part of the recruitment procedure.
Applications should include a letter of motivation, curriculum vitae and 
Master's transcripts or similar records, and the addresses of 2 referees. The 
initial application can be sent by email to Prof. Dr. D. Endres:
 
dominik.endres at uni-marburg.de. 

Please do not sent originals by mail, because we will not be able to return 
them to you. We will not cover travel costs to/from Marburg for job 
interviews.

The Philipps-University of Marburg is an equal opportunity employer.
