POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

The Neurosciences Institute, located in San Diego, California, invites
applications for a POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP to study biologically based
models of the nervous system using behaving brain-based devices or robots.
To extend previous research conducted at the Institute, the Fellow will
focus on the construction of autonomous brain-based devices, on the design
of simulated models of large-scale neuronal networks that are capable of
guiding behavior in the real world, and on developing methods for the
simultaneous analysis of neural and behavioral states. Applicants should
have a background in one or more of the following disciplines: computational
neuroscience, robotics, computer science, behavioral science, or cognitive
science.
 
Fellows will receive stipends appropriate to their qualifications and
experience. Submit a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and
names of three references to:
