A postdoctoral position in human sensorimotor control is available in
the laboratory of Daniel Wolpert at the Institute of Neurology,
University College London. Ongoing work in the laboratory examines
Bayesian and optimal control processes in human motor learning,
sensorimotor integration and control.  The successful applicant will be
expected to conduct independent research involving computationally
motivated experimental studies in humans.

Applicants should have a PhD and technical expertise and skills relevant
to the study of human movement; however, applicants with a strong
background in computational neuroscience who wish to learn experimental
approaches will also be considered. Experience with Matlab & C++ would
be very advantageous.

University College London has a large concentration of researchers in
the areas of motor control and computational neuroscience, including the
neighbouring Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit and Institute of
Cognitive Neuroscience.

Further details of the post and laboratory facilities can be found on
www.hera.ucl.ac.uk.  Informal enquiries can be addressed by email to
Professor Daniel Wolpert (wolpert@ion.ucl.ac.uk).

The position is available from September 2004 for one year in the first
instance.  Starting salary up to =A333,849 pa inclusive, depending on
experience, superannuable. Applicants should provide by 30 June 2004
(preferably by email to e.bertram@ion.ucl.ac.uk):

  -  a 1 page statement of research interests
  -  copy of CV (2 if sent by post)
  -  names and contact details of 3 referees
  -  1 copy of Declaration (required - see further details of posts)
  -  Equal Opportunities form (optional - see further details of posts)
