Post-Doc position

[Dan Hammerstrom]

Postdoctoral Position in Computational Modelling for Sensorimotor Control

A postdoctoral training opportunity is available to investigate 
computational models for sensorimotor control with application to 
autonomous robot navigation. The research  aims at developing models for 
bottom-up/top-down sensory integration and high-level representations for 
visuomotor control. The current investigations address sparse 
representations and on-line learning within such representations, working 
memory and goal memory representations and learning; representation of 
risk, risk anticipation and risk aversion.

The candidate must have a PhD in cognitive science, computer 
science/engineering or a related discipline, expertise in one or more of the
following: neural modelling, learning algorithms, machine vision, roving 
robot programming.

This research is part of a collaborative effort with funding from NASA 
under its Revolutionary Computing Program and a Gordon & Betty Moore 
Research Scholarship. The research involves Prof. Marwan Jabri (OHSU), 
Prof. Dan Hammerstrom (OHSU) and Prof. Terrence Sejnowski (Salk). The 
present position is located at the OGI School of Science and Engineering, 
OHSU West Campus, Beaverton, Oregon.

Interested candidates should send a letter of intention, a CV and two 
letters of recommendation to Prof. M. Jabri at the address below.
