3 year EU funded Post-doc position

Simon Thorpe has funding for a postdoc position at the Centre de 
Recherche Cerveau & Cognition (http://www.cerco.ups-tlse.fr) in 
Toulouse, France.  His group is interested in understanding the brain 
mechanisms involved in rapid scene processing, using both 
experimental work (using ERP and fMRI recording during the 
categorisation of complex scenes) and modeling based on 
asynchronously firing networks of spiking neurons. The modeling work 
is now being developed in collaboration with a hi-tech start-up 
company called SpikeNet Technology 
(http://www.spikenet-technology.com) that is using biologically 
inspired processing architectures to develop real-time image 
processing systems.

The position is funded by the Perception for Recognition and Action 
(PRA) research training network, involving several other major 
european laboratories, and exchange visits between the different 
groups are strongly encouraged. Information about the network can be 
found on http://pra.psy.gla.ac.uk. Please note that there are some 
strict EU rules concerning eligibility. In particular, candidates 
have to be European nationals, but not from France.

The precise program will depend on the candidate, but we would 
particularly like to find someone interested in both  experimental 
and theoretical approaches to the visual system. Programming skills 
would be a clear advantage. We are looking for someone who can start 
in the next few months.

For further information, please send an email to 
thorpe@cerco.ups-tlse.fr. To apply, send a letter of motivation, a CV 
and the names of three referees to the same email address.
