Connectionists: Post-doctoral position - Boston University

[Michael Hasselmo]

Post-doctoral position – Boston University



The Hasselmo laboratory in the Center for Memory and Brain at Boston
University is looking for a post-doctoral fellow to work on a
multi-disciplinary university research initiative (MURI) project in
collaboration with the Leonard and Roy labs at MIT and the Milford lab at
QUT. Applicants should have experience in the area of robotics with an
emphasis on spatial navigation and computational neuroscience. This
background should include a degree in electrical engineering, computer
science, computational neuroscience or mechanical engineering. The
successful candidate will extend current research on goal directed spatial
behavior, including work on modeling navigation in robots guided by models
of neurophysiological circuits. He/she will also implement previously
developed computational models in 3D simulation environments and robotic
hardware. The ideal candidate will have experience in path planning,
autonomous navigation, computational modeling, neural networks, AI and/or
computer vision. Excellent programming skills in MATLAB, Python and/or C++
are a must. Experience in implementing computational models on hardware
platforms is a plus.



Requirements:



- A degree in one of the following areas: electrical engineering, computer
science, computational neuroscience, mechanical engineering.

- Experience in robotics, mathematical modeling, autonomous navigation,
and/or neural networks.

- Excellent coding skills in MATLAB, C++ and/or Python.
