<span style="color:black">Profs. John Spencer and Gregor Schoener are looking for two postdoctoral candidates to work on a joint project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The goal of the project is to construct a theory that explains how the brain flexibly integrates
lower-level processes with higher-level language and executive functions. The project will use the framework of Dynamic Field Theory (<a href="http://www.dynamicfieldtheory.org" title="http://www.dynamicfieldtheory.org/">www.dynamicfieldtheory.org</a>) to
both simulate human behaviours and embody the theory on an autonomous robot to explore application to real-world scenarios.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
