The Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) at
the University of Pennsylvania provides opportunities for several
postdoctoral positions in Cognitive Science. One of the major areas of
research at IRCS is perception and action, so we are actively recruiting
young researchers in this general area.
The Institute brings together researchers in the common
pursuit of an understanding of the human mind, and fosters the
development of new technology arising from this understanding.
Over 40 Penn faculty members across 5 departments are currently
associated with IRCS, linking together the disciplines of
computer and information science, linguistics, mathematical
logic, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology.
Below are listed those IRCS members most relevant to
CVNET readers:
Department of Computer and Information Science
-----------------------------------------------
Norman Badler - Computational models of action, language and
graphics.
Ruzena Bajcsy - Computer vision, robotics, integration of sensory
information.
Dimitri Metaxas - Physics-based modeling and simulation, computer
graphics and animation, computational vision, scientific
visualization.
Eero Simoncelli - Vision in humans and machines, mathematical
models for image representation and processing.
Departments of Neuroscience and Bioengineering.
-----------------------------------------------
Leif Finkel - Computer simulation of the structure and function of
the nervous system.
Gershon Buchsbaum - Human visual perception and visual signal
processing and image coding.
Department of Philosophy.
