We are looking for a post-doctoral research fellow to join our Sussex team working on bio-inspired AI and computational modelling of insect behaviour and learning. You will join a BBSRC funded project called “Emergent embodied cognition in shallow neural networks”.

<div class="ContentPasted0">Your primary role will be to develop simulations of learning problems that insects face such as flower learning or navigation. Insect learning occurs rapidly within shallow neural networks. This is possible because learning is an
active process emerging from the interaction of evolved brains, sensory systems and behaviours. We will explore how behavioural strategies and specialised sensors interact with learning success.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You will work under the supervision of Prof Paul Graham (Sussex, School of Life Sciences) and Professors Andrew Philippides and Thomas Nowotny (Sussex, Department of Informatics). You will join an active team of research fellows and PhD students working
on similar topics.<br>
