Research Scientist/Engineer (machine vision/neuroscience)

The Centre for Visual Sciences is seeking to fill a position to work on
a challenging research project investigating principles of visual flight
control in insects. The objective of the project is the development of
concepts for a novel flight-steering system, capable of being
implemented in ultra-light hardware, for application as an autopilot in
autonomous micro-aircraft. The project is focussed on identifying and
modelling the functional characteristics of the neuronal circuitry
associated with the simple eyes (ocelli) of dragonflies. In
collaboration with a team of neurobiologists, the successful applicant
will contribute to designing and conducting experiments that determine
the properties of the ocellar system and will translate the biological
data into a formal model, to be tested on natural scenes.

Salary range will be $A 38,000 to $A 52,000. The position is for 1 year
initially, with prospects for extension to 3.5 years. Further details
are available from Dr. Gert Stange, ph +61 2 6125 5089, email

Applications close on Friday, 11 Apr 2003.
