    Research Associate Cognitive Neuro-Robotics (MirrorBot Project) �11,562 - �25,793 Ref No: CETR46/01

    Biomimetic Multimodal Learning in a Mirror Neuron-based Robot

    EU Fundamental Emerging Technology project planned project start 1.6.2002, duration 3 years

    The Hybrid Intelligent Systems group ( http://www.his.sunderland.ac.uk ) within the area of Computing of the University of Sunderland is looking for two researchers in the new area of neuroscience- inspired computing on cognitive robots. This project will be in collaboration with research groups in cognitive neuroscience and neuroinformatics in Sunderland, Cambridge, Parma, Nancy and Ulm. The computational experiments are planned to be performed on a parallel neural high performance computer which should act as the "computational brain" for the robots. The researchers will play a key role in the design, development, programming and testing of a neural system on a mirror-neuron-based robot integrating vision and language for actions based on novel neural networks. It is expected that both researchers also contribute to the coordination of the project at different levels.

    The Research Associate position will be for a researcher with expertise in computing, neural networks, a higher degree in Computing, at least Masters. Experience in supporting research projects (website, project reports etc) will be an advantage for the research associate.

    Closing date: 30th April 2002
