Connectionists: PhD position in Neurocomputational modeling of language processing

[Hartmut Fitz]

A PhD position is available at the Max-Planck Institute for
Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, within the 'Language in
Interaction' consortium.

The PhD candidate will participate in a team effort to understand the
neurobiology underlying language processing by building computer models for
sentence processing based on recurrent networks of spiking neurons. The
goal is to develop a model with processing memory based on vector
representations of words which are incrementally interpreted in terms of
thematic roles ("who did what to whom"). A core objective will be to
investigate the computational role of different neuronal models,
connectivity types, neurobiologically motivated adaptation mechanisms, and
different methods for calibrating the model's read-out units.

Closing date: 30 September 2014
