[vslist] PhD position in Computational Neuroscience

[Martin Giese]

PHD POSITION AT THE LABORATORY FOR ACTION REPRESENTATION
AND LEARNING, HERTIE INSTITUTE FOR CLINICAL BRAIN 
RESEARCH, TUEBINGEN, GERMANY


We offer a PhD Position in the context of a project on the
expression of emotions by human movements. The project is 
funded by the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) and 
realized in collaboration with the College de France, the 
Weizman Institute, and the University of 
Tilburg. Start date is 1st October 2004.

We seek for an individual with a background in computer
science, engineering, physics, or mathematics with interest 
in motion capture, computer graphics, machine learning, 
motor control, or bioinformatics. The project will include 
developing new algorithms for modeling trajectories, and
working with modern systems for motion capture and computer 
animation.

The Laboratory for Action Representation and Learning (ARL)
provides a highly interdisciplinary research environment 
combining methods from theoretical and experimental neuroscience, 
computer graphics, computer vision, and machine learning. ARL 
studies the neural mechanisms of the perception of complex 
movements, and algorithms for the modeling of complex 
movements in normals and patients. The Hertie Institute for 
Clinical Brain Research is one of the largest centers for
neurological research in Germany. Its four departments host 
more than 150 researchers focusing on many different aspects 
of modern neurology.  ARL is closely affiliated with the 
Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. 
Tübingen offers an international PhD program in the Graduate 
School for Neural and Behavioral Sciences that realized in 
collaboration between the University and the 
Max Planck Institutes.   

Interested candidates should send or email CVs and the
names of 2 references to Martin Giese, ARL, Dept. of 
Cognitive Neurology, University Clinic 
Tuebingen, Schaffhausenstr. 113, D-72076 Tuebingen,
Germany.
