In the framework of the European Union's Marie Curie network for human
resources and mobility activity, a new project "NeuroVers-IT"
investigating Neuro-Cognitive Science and Information Technology has
been set up. The project aims at collaborative, highly multidisciplinary
research between 11 European well-known research institutions in the
areas of neuro-/cognitive sciences/biophysics and robotics/information
technologies/ mathematics.
<>For this project, IXL Microelectronics Laboratory in Bordeaux, France,
is looking for
Early-Stage Researcher
(holding a Master's degree entitling him/her to pursue a PhD degree,
beginning September 2006)
The ideal candidate should have a university degree in electrical
engineering. An expertise in mixed-analog IC design and VHDL language, a
good knowledge of spoken and written English and a strong interest in
computational neurosciences are required.
The project concerns the development of VLSI circuits and electronics
systems of high biological relevance that emulate in real-time
multi-conductances neurons and neural networks with adaptive properties.
The work will be conducted at the IXL Microelectronics laboratory
(www.ixl.fr <http://www.ixl.fr/>), a CNRS institution associated to
ENSEIRB-Université Bordeaux 1. IXL is located on the Bordeaux Science
campus. The PhD student will join the research group "Engineering of
Neuromorphic Systems";
<>To be eligible the candidate shall not be French citizen and not have
resided in France for more than 12 months in the last 3 years.
