Connectionists: Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Cortically-coupled Computer Vision

[Paul Sajda]

Postdoctoral Research Fellow:

Cortically-coupled Computer Vision
Columbia University, Department of Biomedical Engineering


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 until April 2008. The position is for  
one year, with the option to renew for an additional year, given  
satisfactory performance and available funding.
