Research Fellow/Assistant in Computational Neuroscience.
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre
School of Psychology
University of Birmingham
Birmingham
A Research Associate/Fellow position, available for 36 months, will work
with Dr Dietmar Heinke and Prof Glyn Humphreys in developing a
computational model of visual object recognition and attention in
humans. The framework for this project is set by the computational
model, SAIM (Selective Attention for Identification Model; see
http://web.bham.ac.uk/heinkedg/SAIM for details) and will draw on
experimental evidence from a broad range of sources: single cell
studies, fMRI, MR tractography, neuropsychological and psychological
studies.
The position is funded by the BBSRC and is part of the collaboration of
the following four groups: Glyn Humphreys and Dietmar Heinke,
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, Birmingham; S. Shipp, Institute of
Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London; Paul Matthews and
colleagues, Oxford Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of
the Brain and Andrew T. Smith, Royal Holloway & Bedford New College.
The project is part of a long-term effort in the Behavioural Brain
Sciences Centre (BBS) to establish computational modelling as a standard
method within cognitive neuroscience. Examples for first results can be
found on Dietmar Heinke's web-page and the BBS web-page. This long-term
project is also supported by long-standing collaborations with the
school of computer science, including Aaron Sloman, Ela Claridge and
John Bullinaria
Applicants should have, or be about to complete, a PhD or a very good
MSc in a relevant field (incl. computer vision, neural networks,
connectionist modelling, physics, or applied mathematics). Familiarity
with programming (MatLab, C++) would be an advantage.
The posts are available from 1 September 2004 or as soon as possible
thereafter. Application forms are available from Personnel Services,
University of Birmingham (j.s.thorp@bham.ac.uk) and informal queries
should be addressed to Dietmar Heinke (0121 414 4920
d.g.heinke@bham.ac.uk). Salary will be from £18,893 to £22,954 dependent
on qualifications and experience. The deadline is 30 June 2004. Please
quote reference H32966.
