[visionlist] Graduate research assistantships in computer vision and robotics @ Penn State

[Rick Gilmore]

Graduate research assistantships in computer vision and robotics at Penn State

Graduate Students in Computational Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematical/Physical Sciences with vision science or computer vision experience are needed for an immediate opening in a new, 4-year funded project. Programming experience with Verilog/VHDL/FPGA and C++ programming highly desirable. Experience with CUDA programming a plus. Experience with computational cognitive architectures preferred, especially experience with the LEABRA cognitive architecture. Background in neurophysiology preferred. Graduate positions are research assistantships that provide tuition and a stipend. Doctoral students preferred. Multi-year fellowships available, and preference given to applicants near the beginning of their doctoral program whose thesis work is integrated with this newly funded DoD program. U.S. Citizenship helpful but not strictly necessary. Please mention your citizenship status in your response.

Description: In collaboration with PSU’s Department of Psychology, the IS&T Division of ARL has initiated DoD funded research in computational cognitive architectures for the US Navy. We are seeking highly motivated Graduate students to become part of our multi-disciplinary research team. Students are expected to develop their thesis within the scope of this funded research which includes the research areas of computational cognitive architectures, natural language processing, cognitive vision systems, attentional control in cognitive systems, robotics, and closely related areas. Students both with strong engineering/math/physical sciences backgrounds interested in neurophysiology and with strong neurophysiology backgrounds interested in engineering artificial sensorimotor-based neural systems are encouraged to apply.
