RESEARCH ASSOCIATE

Applications are invited for a research associate post, tenable for
three years from 1st July 2003. This is a joint project between the
Adaptive Behaviour Research Group at the University of Sheffield

Laboratory at the University of the West of England in Bristol

develop a tactile 'whisker' sensor array for an autonomous robot with
response characteristics similar to those of the rat facial
vibrissae. The work at Sheffield will focus on the development of
computational models of the whisker-processing pathways in the rat
brain. Applicants should have a good honours degree in Neuroscience,
Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or related field, and should hold or
expect to hold a
PhD, preferably in computational neuroscience or a related field of
mathematical modelling.
