Postdoctoral Position in Computational Sensorimotor Control

[Daniel Wolpert]

A postdoctoral position in human sensorimotor control is available in the
laboratory of Daniel Wolpert at the Institute of Neurology, University
College London. Ongoing work in the laboratory examines Bayesian and optimal
control processes in human motor learning, sensorimotor integration and
control.  The successful applicant will be expected to conduct independent
research involving computationally motivated experimental studies in humans.

Applicants should have a PhD and technical expertise and skills relevant to
the study of human movement; however, applicants with a strong background in
computational neuroscience who wish to learn experimental approaches will
also be considered. Experience with Matlab & C++ would be very advantageous.

University College London has a large concentration of researchers in the
areas of motor control and computational neuroscience, including the
neighbouring Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit and Institute of
Cognitive Neuroscience.

Further details of the post and laboratory facilities can be found on
www.hera.ucl.ac.uk.  Informal enquiries can be addressed by email to
Professor Daniel Wolpert (wolpert at ion.ucl.ac.uk).
