The Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems is inviting applicants for a post 
of Professor or Associate Professor (Reader) in one, or more, of the fields of 
computational neuroscience, cognitive robotics, and computational 
intelligence. You will be working in a large inter-disciplinary research team 
at the Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems and the School of Computing and 
Mathematics. This new post is part of the university’s strategic investment in 
research, following the success of the centre at the latest Research 
Assessment Exercise (RAE2008).      

You must have a strong track record of research at world leading and/or 
international excellence level, including publications in the leading journals 
in the field. A sustainable track record of grant income, leadership of 
research laboratory/group, and evidence of research impact and peer esteem at 
international excellence level is also essential. The offer of a full 
Professor, or an Associate Professor (Reader), post will be commensurate to 
the track record of the candidate. 

Recruitment and selection will be based on individual merit, however, we 
should particularly like to encourage applications from women, black and 
minority ethnic people who are under-represented in the Faculty of Science and 
Technology.
