Open position: NN for time series processing

[Georg Dorffner]

The Neural Networks Group at the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial 
Intelligence in Vienna, Austria, has an immediate opening for a position on

   Neural Networks for Time Series Processing and Economic Modeling

as part of the larger initiative "Adaptive Models in Economics and 
Management Science" (http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/am/am.html). The goal is to 
investigate the capabilities of recurrent neural nets in modeling economic 
processes, including their use in multi-agent simulations, with a focus on 
learning algorithms, adaptivity, and mixture-of-expert approaches.

Required background:

  state space models, etc.)
- basic knowledge in neural networks and programming
- Ph.D. degree or comparable doctorate
- research experience

Desired background:

- publications in the field
- basic knowledge in economic modeling
- basic knowledge in statistics
- experience in a UNIX environment
- basic understanding knowledge of German

The position will be available for up to three years, with a monthly
