Connectionists: Postdoc in Computational Neuroscience/ Robotics

[Sen Cheng]

A postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience/ robotics is
available immediately in the research unit of Prof. Sen Cheng in the
Institute for Neural Computing at the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany.
For further information see www.rub.de/cns. The postdoc will study spatial
navigation and learning in robots using biologically realistic algorithms.
The focus will be on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying spatial
navigation and learning in mammals, in particular, the role of the
hippocampus in these processes.

The salary will be on the standard German pay scale of TV-L E13. The
full-time position is available immediately for two years with the
possibility of extension. Limited teaching in computational neuroscience
and/ or robotics is required.

Candidates should have a doctoral degree in neuroscience, robotics,
computer science, physics, or a related field. Competence in mathematical
modeling, and excellent programming skills are mandatory. Familiarity with
robotics and computational neuroscience would be a further asset.

To apply please send a statement of your motivation and research interests,
academic transcripts, and a complete CV to sen.cheng at rub.de in a single PDF
file. Please, also request from at least two academic referees that they
send letters of reference directly to the same email address.

The Ruhr University Bochum is committed to equal opportunity. We strongly
encourage applications from qualified women and persons with disabilities.
