Subject: Job: Postdoctoral Research Scientist Neuro-Robotics From: Harry Erwin <harry.erwin@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 15:33:08 +0100Job announcement: Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Neuro-Robotics School of Computing & Technology, University of Sunderland Research Scientist Neuro-Robotics (MICRAM) Fixed term – three years 19,340 - 29,211 pounds per annum Ref: CTR016/1154 Our focus in the MICRAM project is to develop and validate biomimetic robots, computational neural models and a neuroscience database for the development of a biologically realistic model of auditory processing (MICRAM project). The job involves the development of a biomimetic robot that uses neural computational modeling to simulate the auditory midbrain. You should be educated to PhD level or possess equivalent research experience and a proven ability in research and publication. A degree in a computing discipline is essential and knowledge of biomimetic robotics is desirable. Experience with GENESIS or similar neural modelling and knowledge of the auditory system and of bioacoustics would be advantageous. This neuro-robotics post is part of a collaboration between the University of Sunderland (neural robotics post -- this announcement) and the University of Newcastle (auditory neuroscience post -- to be announced). For more info on the Centre for Hybrid Intelligent Systems see http://www.his.sunderland.ac.uk/ For informal discussions of this neuro-robotics post please contact Dr. Harry Erwin ( harry.erwin@xxxxxxxx ) or Prof. Stefan Wermter ( stefan.wermter@xxxxxxxx ). Interviews for this post will be held on Monday 19th June 2006. Application form and Role Profile can be obtained by contacting Human Resources on 0191 515 2057 (international number +44 191 515 2057) or www.sunderland.ac.uk/jobs Closing Date: 2nd June 2006 *************************************** Harry Erwin, PhD Senior Lecturer of Computing School of Computing and Technology University of Sunderland St Peters Way Sunderland SR6 0DD United Kingdom email: harry.erwin at sunderland.ac.uk http://www.his.sunderland.ac.uk/~cs0her/ http://www.his.sunderland.ac.uk/ ****************************************
