Connectionists: Postdoc position in bio-inspired AI at University of Sussex

[Thomas Nowotny]

Dear Connectionists,
We are looking for a post-doctoral research fellow to join our Sussex team working on bio-inspired AI and computational modelling of insect behaviour and learning. You will join a BBSRC funded project called “Emergent embodied cognition in shallow neural networks”.
https://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/jobs/research-fellow-ref-10735

Your primary role will be to develop simulations of learning problems that insects face such as flower learning or navigation. Insect learning occurs rapidly within shallow neural networks. This is possible because learning is an active process emerging from the interaction of evolved brains, sensory systems and behaviours. We will explore how behavioural strategies and specialised sensors interact with learning success.

You will work under the supervision of Prof Paul Graham (Sussex, School of Life Sciences) and Professors Andrew Philippides and Thomas Nowotny (Sussex, Department of Informatics). You will join an active team of research fellows and PhD students working on similar topics.

Closing date: 09 March 2023. Applications must be received by midnight (UK)

Expected interview date: to be confirmed

Expected start date: early April 2023

Please contact Prof Paul Graham, p.r.graham at sussex.ac.uk, for informal enquiries.

With regards,
Thomas
