Connectionists: postdoc in Dijon France

[Elizabeth Thomas]

We are seeking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow for projects concerning 
the use of artificial neural networks in gait analysis.  The use of the 
network would permit an automatic classification of locomotive deficits 
as well as an understanding of the underlying physiological problem.  
The data to be studied will come from human patients suffering from 
arthritis as well as rat stroke models.  A good candidate should be able 
to program (preferably in Matlab or C++) as well as be comfortable 
interacting with the medical and scientific community.  The work will 
take place in an INSERM laboratory at the University of Burgundy, Dijon, 
France, specializing in locomotion.  An emphasis will be placed on the 
publication of the results of this project and the methods developed 
during the course of it.  The position will be funded for a year 
beginning in either September or December 2006, with the possibility of 
a second year.  Dijon is a gastronomic centre in France, in the heart of 
the Burgundy wine area and one and a half hours away by train from Paris.

Interested candidates, please send a CV to my e-mail address
