Your job will involve 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 in mammals and of bioacoustics would be advantageous.
