PhD / POSTDOC POSITIONS FOR THEORETICAL NEUROSCIENCE
====================================================

The Laboratory for Action Representation and Learning at the
Department of Cognitive Neurology and the Max-Planck Institute for
Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen (Germany) offers a Postdoc or PhD
position for a neuroscientist or computer scientist with interest in
neural modeling.

Aim of the project is the development and evaluation of models for the
neural mechanisms of the recognition and planning of complex
movements.  Dependent on her / his interest, the successful candidate
will also have the opportunity to take part in psychophysical,
electrophysiological and FMRI experiments for testing neural theories
of motion recognition and learning of movements by imitation.

Tuebingen offers an excellent environment for experimental and
theoretical neuroscience. In addition, PhD students can acquire a PhD
degree in "Neuroscience" in an interdiciplinary graduate program. The
experimental side of the project will be realized in close
collaboration with experimentalists at the Max-Planck-Institute, the
Department for Brain and Cogniutive Science, M.I.T., and Harvard
Medical School (USA).

The ideal candidate should have a reasonable computational background,
and at least some basic training in neuroscience.

Payment is, dependent on prior experience, according to BAT II for 3
years (extendable). Starting date should be as soon as possible.

The position is funded by the German Volkswagen Foundation.
