Connectionists: Postdoc + Phd position

[Martin Giese]

POSTDOC AND PHD POSITION: BIOLOGICALLY-INSPIRED COMPUTER VISION  (University of Tuebingen, Germany)

============================================================

The Institute for Computational Sensomotorics at the Center for Integrative Neurosciences, University of Tuebingen invites applications for a Postdoc and a PhD student available immediately, with a maximum duration of 3 years.

The position is funded within a EC research project. The highly interdisciplinary project aims at the development of neural architectures for human movement recognition in the 
context of technical applications, exploiting principles 
inspired by biological visual systems.

The project is realized in collaboration the Fraunhofer 
Society, the University of Ulm and INRIA (Sophia Antipolis,
France). 

Tuebingen is a leading  German center for neuroscience hosting a variety of experimental and theoretical groups. The Center for Integrative Neuroscience is organized jointly with the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, a world leading center for experimental neuroscience and machine learning. 

The positions focus on the development of novel learning
architectures that combine principles for flexible information processing from neuroscience, machine vision, 
and machine learning.

The ideal candidate should have the following qualifications:
* Masters (PhD) degree in Computer Science, Electrical 
  Engineering,  Physics, or related fields
* programming experience (Matlab, C/C++, ...)
* knowledge about neural models of vision or image 
  processing / computer vision
* English speaking and writing skills.

Committed to Equal Opportunities.
