RESEARCH ASSISTANT 
Centre for Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience (CCCN) 
ECOVISION Project 
17,626 - 21,503 

You will be associated with the group of Prof. Wrgtter 
(http://www.cn.stir.ac.uk/) and involved in computer vision studies 
of the real-world scene analysis problems in the context of the 
ECOVISION project (Early cognitive Vision, 
(http://www.pspc.dibe.unige.it/ecovision/). 
The goal of these studies is to design a machine vision system of 
superior performance. To this end principles of distributed cognitive 
reasoning, which are now better understood in the brain, shall be 
implemented in software and tested with artificial and real visual 
scenes. 

You shall develop this software in cooperation with other members 
of the group. Good software knowledge of C++ is required. It would also 
be helpful if you have a background in computer- and camera-equipment 
hardware. This project is funded by the European Commission and takes 
place in an international cooperation between seven partners from five 
different countries. It also offers good access to industrially relevant 
machine vision problems through the direct involvement of HELLA Hueck KG, 
who is a big German company developing driver assistant systems, 
which are the core application for the results of the ECOVISION project. 

This appointment will be on a fixed term basis for 22 months in the first 
instance, with an extension thereafter. The position is thought to be 
basis for a PhD. Informal enquiries may be made to Dr. Norbert Krger 
(tel: 01786 466379, email: norbert at cn.stir.ac.uk) or Professor 
Florentin Wrgtter (tel. 01786 466369, email worgott at cn.stir.ac.uk.).

of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA, telephone 01786 467028, fax 01786
