jobs for Phd-students and Postdocs

[Wolfgang Maass]

Applications of PHD-STUDENTS and POSTDOCS for the following research
project are encouraged, which will be supervised jointly by Nikos
Logothetis (MPI for Biological Cybernetics, Tuebingen, Germany) and
Wolfgang Maass (Institute for Theoretical Computer Science, Graz,
Austria):

                      MODELING BIOLOGICAL VISION

This research project is part of a larger research project COGNITIVE
VISION (encouraging interaction with researchers from computer vision)
that is funded by the Austrian National Science Foundation (FWF).

The goal of this research project is to integrate realistic data from
in vivo experiments into computer models of parts of the visual system
that are functional in the sense that they can solve complex
computational tasks on visual input streams. This project involves
methods and insight from both neuroscience (especially dynamics of
neural circuits and systems in vivo, visual system of primates,
computational neuroscience) and computer science (especially machine
learning, computer vision, simulations of complex systems). Applicants
are expected to have strong backgrounds in at least one of the
research disciplines, and should have also demonstrated in their
previous work interest and qualifications for interdisciplinary
research. But the most important qualification is excellence in
research.

Applications, with all necessary background documents attached in pdf
(or provided via URLs), should be sent by Dec. 17 to
maass at igi.tugraz.at.
