The Chair of Systems Biophysics (Prof. C. von der Malsburg) at the
Institute for Neurocomputing of the Ruhr-University of Bochum in
Germany has vacancies for

     physicists, computer scientists, or electrical engineers

or holders of other relevant degrees. We have a variety of exciting
projects in computer vision, image understanding, and machine
learning. Special emphasis is put on the study of mechanisms for
learning solutions to hard vision problems from examples. The concrete
projects will be tailored to match the candidates' skills and
interests.

The research group has been founded in 1990 and has a long record of
successful projects in face recognition, gesture recognition, object
recognition, robot vision, network self-organization, and models of
the visual cortex. For details take a look at our WWW-site:
