Connectionists: Doctoral and postdoctoral positions, Inst. f. Neuroinformatik, Univ. Bochum

[christian faubel]

On behalf of Professor Schöner:

Several research positions (doctoral student and postdoctoral levels)  
are available at the
	Institut fur Neuroinformatik, Ruhr-Universität Bochum
	http://www.ini.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/top.html

These positions are in the context of major research projects centered  
on
	human movement generation
	scene representations
	behavioral sequences

Theoretical modeling work is structured by Dynamic Field Theory, a  
version of continuous neural activation dynamics at the population  
level. Principles of learning play a role as well.

Experimental work is in autonomous robotics as well as in behavioral  
experimentation on human movement. We use cognitive robotics  
implementations of the theoretical models to test for feasibility, and  
scaling of theoretical ideas and to derive heuristics for human  
experiment. We also look at real-world applications.

We are seeking individuals with varied backgrounds:

= computer scientists or engineers with programming skills and no fear  
of mathematics
= mathematicians or physicists with mathematical skill and interest in  
the cognitive sciences
= psychologists, biologists, or cognitive scientists with experimental  
skills and no fear of mathematics

Please apply by email to gregor.schoener at rub.de, including a statement  
of interest, a CV, and material that gives some information on grades  
achieved in your university education. Selection will begin  
immediately until all positions are filled. We encourage applications  
by women and minorities.
