Connectionists: PhD student / postdoc: Visually guided behavior (Bielefeld)

[Ralf Moeller]

The Computer Engineering Group at the Faculty of Technology of
Bielefeld University offers a temporary position as

doctoral or postdoctoral researcher
(salary BAT IIa, for two years three months, starting April 1st, 2007)

in a DFG-funded research project

"Visually guided behavior in complex 3D environments".

In this project, we will develop models of visual motion perception
and of the corresponding sensorimotor control strategies in insects,
transfer them into technical solutions, and test these systems in a
gantry setup. The goal is not only to imitate biological behavioral
strategies in technical systems, but also to use these systems as a
testbed for the verification of biological models in complex,
three-dimensional environments. The project runs in close cooperation
with the Dept. of Neurobiology (Prof. Dr. Martin Egelhaaf).
