Korean Ministry of Science and Technology just initiated a 10 year national
research program on Braintech'21, which consists of neuroscience, cognitive
science, and artificial neural networks. The Brain Science Research Center
(BSRC) is selected as the main research organization for the Braintech'21.
Although the BSRC is located at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology (KAIST) at Taejon, Korea (South), it supports the whole Korean
brain research community. More than 70 professors and researchers from all
over the Korea are affiliated to the BSRC.
Several Post Doc positions are available starting from November 1998 or later.
The research areas cover all aspects of neuroscience, cognitive science, and
artificial neural networks. Currently we have 3 inter-disciplinary projects
and 6 basic-research projects.
o Interdicsiplinary Projects
- artifical vision and speech recognition system
(from biological models to hardware implementations, i.e.
artificial retina and artificial cochlea chips)
- inferrence system
(from biology to neural network models)
- EEG classification system
o Basic-research projects
- Neuroscience: molecular level
- Neuroscience: system level
- Cognitive science
- Artificial neural network models
- Neuro-chip hardware impementation
- Neural network applications (control and telecommunications)
Applicants should have a strong background in quantitative research and some
basic knowledge of neuroscience, cognitive science, artificial neural
networks, or VLSI design. Interests in multidisciplinary researches are
advantageous.
In colllaobation with many academic and research organizations in Korea,
the BSRC will provide excellent research environments. Researchers from
diversified research backgrounds join together to stimulate each other
and come up with excellent multidisciplinary researches.
The starting date is flexible. The position is available for 1-3 years
depending on accomplishment.
Applicants should send a CV, the names and e-mail addresses of three
references, and a summary of research interests and experience to:
