<p style="margin: 0cm;"><font color="#343536" face="Times New Roman, serif" size="4">A Postdoctoral Research Associates in Neuromorphic Systems and/or Computational Neuroscience for robotics is required for a period of 3.5 years to work on the Horizon/InnovateUK
project “PRIMI: Performance in Robots Interaction via Mental Imagery. This is a collaborative project of the University of Manchester’s Cognitive Robotics Lab with various academic and industry partners in the UK and Europe. PRIMI will synergistically combine
research and development in neurophysiology, psychology, machine intelligence, cognitive mechatronics, neuromorphic engineering, and humanoid robotics to build developmental models of higher-cognition abilities – mental imagery, abstract reasoning, and theory
of mind – boosted by energy- efficient event-driven computing and sensing.<o:p></o:p></font></p>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(52, 53, 54);">You will carry out research on the design of neuromorphic systems models for robotics. The postdoc will work collaboratively with the other postdocs and PhD students in the PRIMI project. This post requires
expertise in computational neuroscience (e.g. spiking neural networks) for robotics and/or neuromorphic systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
