Job opening PhD Studentship

[Frank Pasemann]

The TheoLab - Research Unit for Structure Dynamics and System
Evolution - at the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena, Germany -
invites PhD candidates with pronounced interests in the field of
"Evolved Neurocontrollers for Autonomous Agents" to apply for a

PhD Studentship (BAT IIa/2)

We are looking for a PhD student to work on the project "Real-time
Learning Procedures for Co-operating Robots" which is funded by the
DFG (German Research Council) for two years. Research is on the
development and implementation of behavior relevant autonomous
learning rules for robots. They will be combined with existing
evolutionary startegies for the generation of multi-functional
neurocontrollers. The position is to be taken os soon as possible.

Applicants should have experience in computer simulations (C, C++,
Grafik, Linux). A background in the fields of Dynamical Systems
Theory, Neural Networks, Robotics and/or Embodied Cognitive Science is
favourable.  Experiments will be performed with Khepera
robots. Successful candidats may also benefit from TheoLabs
cooperation with the Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics in the
Sciences, Leipzig, the Department of Computer Science, University
Leipzig, and the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University Bremen.

Applications (CV, two academic referees) should be send to
