postdoc position in connectionist modelling

[Marco Zorzi]

POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

A two-years postdoctoral position in connectionist modelling is
available with Dr. Marco Zorzi and Prof. Carlo Umilte at University of
Padova, Department of Psychology. The project is part of a EU-funded
Research Training Network of six sites (University College London,
INSERM U334 Orsay, Universite Catholique de Louvain, University of
Innsbruck, University of Trieste, and University of Padova)
investigating "Mathematics and the Brain". The Padova team will focus
on the computational bases of mathematical cognition (basic numerical
abilities and simple arithmetic).  

The successful applicant will have a quantitative background and
excellent programming skills (MATLAB/Visual Basic/Visual C). Specific
experience and/or publications in neural networks/connectionist
modelling is desirable. A background in cognitive neuroscience will be
a plus but is not necessary. The international network offers an
excellent opportunity for gaining experience in a wide range of
methodologies in cognitive neuroscience. Short visits and exchanges
between laboratories are also planned. Salary and benefits are highly
competitive (35000 Euro per year).

Applicants must be citizens of a EU country (excluding Italy),
EFTA-EEA states, Candidate States, or Israel. Application deadline is
30 September 2000, start date is negotiable (after November 1st). Send
CV, reprints or preprints and the names of two references (preferably
by email) to:
