Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics<br>
Linking neuroscience with robotics.<br>
<br>
The
University of Birmingham is making a multimillion pound investment to
create the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics
(CNCR). The Centre will foster an interdisciplinary, collaborative
approach to advance understanding of brain function and learning, and
develop better robotic systems. The research will be translated into
innovative treatment for patients with developmental, degenerative or
acquired neurological disorders.<br>
<br>
To establish the centre, we are
seeking two Chairs, one in computational neuroscience and one in
cognitive robotics. These appointments will be the first of a series
culminating in ten academic and technical positions. In the
intermediate term we will be appointing three lecturers and two
technical positions to directly support the incoming teams. This
will be followed by the appointment of a further three posts (one chair
level) in the next year. We expect the new chair-level appointees to
play a major role in the next round of recruitment.<br>
<br>
The initial
two chairs should have an international research record that makes
cutting-edge contributions to their field. Salary will be commensurate
with experience. For information and enquiries please contact either<br>
