Connectionists: Short term 'Visiting Fellowships - IRIDIA-ULB - Brussels

[Elio Tuci]

MARIE CURIE EARLY STAGE RESEARCH TRAINING FELLOWSHIPS at IRIDIA, FREE 
UNIVERSITY OF BRUSSELS (ULB)

The IRIDIA (Institut de Recherches Interdisciplinaires et de 
Développements en Intelligence Artificielle - http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/) 
research group at the Free University of Brussels (ULB) is as a Host 
Institution for Marie Curie Early Stage Research Training (EST) 
Fellowships.

IRIDIA has an opening for a short term 'Visiting Fellowships' (from 6 to 
12 months) with a starting date in October 2006.

Project description

The COMP2SYS (COMPutational intelligence methods for COMPlex SYStems) 
Early Stage Training project focuses on the training of early stage 
researchers to the use of Computational Intelligence techniques for the 
treatment of complex systems in science and engineering. The programme 
aims at developing the knowledge and skills necessary to solve complex 
problems using the powerful emergent  methods and tools of Computational 
Intelligence. The programme focuses on five main topics:
1.    Evolutionary computation
2.    Ant colony optimization
3.    Artificial chemistry and biological networks
4.    Theoretical and applied machine learning
5.    Swarm intelligence and swarm robotics

COMP2SYS has an opening for up to 12 months for a young visiting 
scientist: typically a doctoral student of another university who is 
pursuing her/his doctorate on a topic related to Computational 
Intelligence. Occasionally she/he can be an early stage researcher in a 
company research lab.  The typical stay at ULB-IRIDIA will last for a 
period of time ranging from 6 to 12 months.
More details on the COMP2SYS project are available at

opportunities to female and male applicants and that regarding salary, 
promotions, career development and all other aspects of employment, 
equal opportunities shall be vigorously pursued. NB: mobility allowances 
for employees with dependants may be higher.

Eligibility conditions are restricted, so please carefully check these 
before contacting Dr. Tuci, to whom applications and a CV should be sent 
by email (etuci at ulb.ac.be).
