A full-time position as Research Assistant in integrative neuroscience and
cognitive science is available immediately in the group of Prof. Sen Cheng
at the Institute for Neural Computation, Ruhr University Bochum in Germany.
The research will focus on robot-assisted modeling of spatial navigation
paradigms in rodents. Robotic simulations, as well as, physical robots will
be used to develop and evaluate the desired models.

The position will be funded at the standard salary scale TV-L E13. It is
initially limited to 1 year with the possibility of extension, depending on
the availability of funding.

Candidates should have an excellent degree in neuroscience, physics,
mathematics, engineering, or a related field. Competence in mathematical
