               Post-doctoral and PhD Research Positions
                      Computational Neuroscience

The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit invites applications for
PhD studentships and post-doctoral research positions.

Members of the unit are interested in models of all aspects of brain
function, especially unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning,
neural dynamics, population coding and computational motor
control. There is the opportunity to conduct psychophysical
experiments in motor control. The Unit also has active interests in
more general aspects of machine learning.

For further details please see: http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/research.html

The Gatsby Unit provides a unique opportunity for a critical mass of
theoreticians to interact closely with each other and with University
College's other world class research groups including Anatomy,
Computer Science, Functional Imaging Laboratory, Physics, Physiology,
Psychology, Neurology, Ophthalmology, and Statistics.  The unit has
excellent computational facilities, and laboratory facilities for
theoretically motivated experimental studies.  The unit's visitor and
seminar programmes enable its staff and students to interact with
leading researchers from across the world.

Candidates should have a strong analytical background and a keen
interest in neuroscience. Competitive salaries and studentships are
available.

Applicants should send in plain text format a CV (PhD applicants
should include details of course work and grades), a statement of
research interests, and names and addresses of three referees to
admin at gatsby.ucl.ac.uk (email preferred) or to
