The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit invites applications for
postdoctoral research positions in theoretical neuroscience, machine
learning, and related areas.

For machine learning positions, the Unit is especially keen to recruit
researchers with expertise in graphical models, Bayesian statistics,
kernel methods, non-parametric methods, semi-supervised learning,
reinforcement learning, game theory or machine learning applied to
bioinformatics.

The Gatsby Unit is a world-class centre for theoretical neuroscience
and machine learning, focusing on unsupervised learning, reinforcement
learning, kernel methods, Gaussian processes, Bayesian statistical
theory, the interpretation of neural data, population coding,
perceptual processing, neural dynamics, and computational motor
control.

The Unit provides a unique environment in which a critical mass of
theoreticians interact closely with each other and with other
world-class research groups in related departments at University
College London, including Anatomy, Computer Science, Functional
Imaging, Physics, Physiology, Psychology, Neurology, Ophthalmology,
and Statistics.  The Unit's visitor and seminar programmes enable
staff and students to engage with leading researchers from across the
world.

Candidates must have a strong analytical background and relevant experience.

Salaries are competitive, based on experience and achievement. 

Applicants should send in pdf, plain text or Word format a CV, a
statement of research interests, and the names and full contact
details (including e-mail addresses) of three referees to:
