Connectionists: neural computation and adaptive perception / deep learning post-doc

[Yoshua Bengio]

For those interested in deep learning research and in a post-doc, submission deadline is January 21st.

-------------------------------------
Hello,

The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research invites applications for a Junior Fellowship in Neural Computation and Adaptive Perception.  Application deadline:  January 21, 2013.   

The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research brings together top international researchers to tackle many of the most interesting and pressing questions of our time.  Our Junior Fellow Academy offers gifted, early career researchers the unique opportunity to participate in CIFAR’s global research network and to closely collaborate, and be mentored by, some of Canada’s and the world’s best researchers. 

CIFAR’s Neural Computation and Adaptive Perception (NCAP) Program is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to fill a Junior Fellowship position beginning in July 2013.  The fellowship will be held in conjunction with a university postdoctoral appointment under the supervision of Yoshua Bengio and/or Pascal Vincent at the Université de Montréal.  Applicants should have a PhD in Computer Science, Computational Neuroscience, or a related discipline, and already have an exceptional track record of original research.  The Junior Fellow will pursue his or her own research program, which should be related to computational approaches to how vision can be achieved by learning deep representations, preferably with some relevance to biological visual systems.
