Connectionists: Post-Doc position (1 year)

[Sylvain SAIGHI]

Post-doc position (1 year) in IXL- CNRS UMR 5818 - Bordeaux, France

Subject : « Design of living-artificial interface IC for hybrid neural 
networks »

<>Offer description :
The proposed subject is related to the EU project Neuro-vers-IT 
(FP6-2004-Mobility 019247, start 1/01/2006), in which IXL is a partner. 
The goal of that project is to reinforce the European multi 
-disciplinary research activities in Information Technology, Biomedical 
Engineering, and Robotics. IXL is in charge of designing systems to 
interface biological and artificial neurons, using dedicated integrated 
circuits (IC) and systems running in real time. The developed platforms 
will allow the characterization (including modeling) of learning and 
plasticity phenomenas in cultured neural networks on a long-term basis.

<>Candidate profile :
The candidate has to be an expert in analog and mixed IC design. Basis 
knowledge in neurophysiology or in cognitive science will be 
appreciated. He/she will have frequent missions (up to a few weeks) in 
partners laboratories (in France and abroad) : good English skills are 
necessary.

Duration : 1 year(s)

Laboratory :
IXL, CNRS UMR 5818, ENSEIRB-Université Bordeaux 1
(Laboratoire d'études de l'intégration des composants et systèmes 
électroniques)
351 cours de la Libération, 33405 Talence, France.
