Connectionists: Post-doc/PhD position at University of Ulm

[Friedhelm Schwenker]

The Department of Neural Information Processing at the University of Ulm 
invites applications for a post-doc (or PhD-student) position to begin

  November 1 2006, or later.

The Institute for Neural Information Processing at the University of Ulm 
(Germany) has two full professors, 4 postdocs and about 12 students and 
researchers in different areas of neural network research. Ongoing work 
includes mobile autonomous  robots, computer  vision, neural  modelling, 
and pattern recognition.

Successful applicants will be expected to conduct research involving
·   pattern  recognition or sensor fusion with artificial  neural 
networks, or
·   information processing in networks of spiking neurons, or
·   large associative memory systems
with possible applications in autonomous vehicles, bioinformatics, 
medicine, speech or vision, or modelling and recognition of emotions.

Post-doc candidates should have a recent PhD-degree for example in 
computer science, physics, mathematics or electrical engineering. They 
will have some small teaching obligations, so some knowledge of German 
would be useful.

Applications for PhD-work are also possible. In this case the applicants 
should already have some experience in one of the fields mentioned above.

The appointment will be for at least 2 years. Salary will be BAT IIa 
(details depend on age and family status).

Applications comprising a CV, list of publications and statement of 
research interest should be sent to Prof. Dr. Palm by

  September 5, 2006

via email. Please make sure that they are complete and in a convenient 
format.

Head of the Department of
Neural Information Processing
