[Comp-neuro] POSTDOCTORAL POSITION in NONLINEAR DYNAMICS of MEMORY and ACTIVE PERCEPTION

[Yariv Z Levy]

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH in

NONLINEAR DYNAMICS of MEMORY and ACTIVE PERCEPTION

Biologically Inspired Neural & Dynamical Systems (BINDS) Laboratory
University of Massachusetts Amherst


The postdoc work will be concentrating on:

How memories are modified, what other systems take part of it, how  
can the system benefit from changing memories?
These questions are asked from the functional and computational view,  
and will be tackled using theories of dynamical systems, knowledge of  
neurobiology and memory system, mathematical analysis and control.  
The modeling created will then be transferred into crisp principles  
and from there to machine learning, detection, and navigation.

The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Computer Science,  
Cognitive Science, Psychology, Engineering or a related field.
Excellent programming skills in C++ and Matlab, knowledge of machine  
learning, and deep analytical knowledge and skills.

The initial appointment will be for one year and renewable based  
performance and funding.
The position is open immediately and salary is standard for computer  
science.

Applicants should send a cover letter, a CV, representative  
publications, and the names of three references directly to Hava  
Siegelmann <hava at cs.umass.edu>
