Job announcement in Computational Neuroscience

We will open a permament position in Computational Neuroscience at the
level of Matre de confrence universitaire (equivalent to Lecturer or
Assistant Professor) at University Paris-VII in fall 2003. Compulsory
qualification for candidature ends October-8 2002
(see:http://www.education.gouv.fr/personnel/enssup/antares/default.htm).

The opening of the position will be officially announced early 2003.
Research will be centred on learning and control of upper limb movements,
including manual dexterity and object manipulation. We seek candidates
with strong experience in the field of biologically inspired neural
network modeling, motor control, biomechanics and a background in
Neuroscience.

A franco-phone background or working knowledge is required for teaching
duties at University Paris-VII that go with the position. Teaching will
involve the domains of Neuroscience, Computational neuroscience and
Bioinformatics.

  The position will be attached to INSERM U.483, headed by Y Burnod, who
wishes to enlarge and re-enforce our existing modeling team that comprises
a wide-ranging and complementary expertise from motor neuroscience, over
biophysical and neural network modeling, to robotics.
