Position for Postdoctoral Fellow: Cortically-coupled Computer Vision

The Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing (LIINC)  
at Columbia University has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral  
Fellow to participate in our research program in "Cortically-coupled  
Computer Vision (C3Vision)".  The C3Vision program looks to  
synergistically couple biological and computer vision systems using a  
combination of brain machine interfaces, machine learning and pattern  
classification, and image understanding  within the context of  
understanding the advantages and limits of both biological and  
computer vision. Applicants should have a background in one, and  
preferably several, of the following: machine vision (especially  
content based indexing and automated image labeling), machine  
learning, neural signal processing, neuroimaging (EEG and/or fMRI),  
real-time systems design and programming.

LIINC is in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia  
University and interacts closely with other departments at Columbia,  
Including Electrical Engineering, Biological Sciences, Computer  
Science and Neuroscience.  In addition, the C3Vision project includes  
collaborators at other academic institutions as well as in industry,  
and the project involves both basic and applied research which will  
ultimately lead to testable systems.

Interested candidates should send via email their CV, three  
representative papers, the names of three references, and cover  
letter to Prof. Paul Sajda (ps629 at columbia.edu).   Applications will  
be considered immediately.  The position is for one year, with the  
option to renew for 2-3 years, given satisfactory performance and  
available funding.
