Research positions at the IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, 
California

IBM's Cognitive Computing team offers several openings for post-doctorate, 
software engineer and research staff member positions. The team is tasked 
to discover, demonstrate, and deliver novel neuromorphic architectures and 
algorithms at unprecedented scale via a combination of computational 
neuroscience, neuromorphic ASICs and nanotechnology, supercomputing, 
machine learning and computer vision. The vibrant, multi-disciplinary 
research team collaborates with other IBM labs and academic partners 
worldwide.

We look for researchers and software engineers with outstanding expertise 
in one or more of computational neuroscience and neural networks, machine 
learning, computer vision, and autonomous robot navigation. 
Specifically, 

        For mapping neural computation to spiking neuromorphic ASICs 
valuable areas of expertise include computational neuroscience (spiking 
computation, synaptic plasticity, structural plasticity, reinforcement 
learning), machine learning, computational learning theory, associative 
memory, memory capacity of networks, probabilistic graphical modeling, 
deep-belief networks, HMAX, convolution networks, pattern classification. 

        For robot control in virtual and real environments skills of 
interest include image processing and computer vision for autonomous 
vehicle control and navigation, USARSim, cognitive task design, object 
recognition, aerial robotics, real-time control systems, sensors (video, 
audio, LIDAR, IR, etc.) and actuators.

        For large scale simulations skills of interest include high 
performance computing, parallel algorithms, programming of distributed 
systems, MPI, and visualization.
 
The formal openings can be found here for regular and post-doc, and 
engineering long-term supplemental positions. Applications should include 
CV, statement of research interest and contact details of three or more 
referees. Informal inquiries may be addressed to Arnon Amir 
(arnon at almaden.ibm.com) and Steven Esser (sesser at us.ibm.com).
