The overall theme of the project is "Bayesian inference models and =
spiking
neural networks", and the research will involve building and analysing
probabilistic treatments of representation, inference and learning in
spiking models of cortex.

Salary is competitive, based on experience and achievement.  The =
position is
available for immediate start.  The appointment will be for an initial
period of two years but may be extended depending on progress and =
funding.
