Research Fellow/Assistant in Computational Neuroscience.


Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre
School of Psychology
University of Birmingham
Birmingham


A Research Associate/Fellow position, available for 36 months, will work 
with Dr Dietmar Heinke and Prof Glyn Humphreys in developing a 
computational model of visual object recognition and attention in 
humans. The framework for this project is set by the computational 
model, SAIM (Selective Attention for Identification Model; see 
http://web.bham.ac.uk/heinkedg/SAIM for details) and will draw on 
experimental evidence from a broad range of sources: single cell 
studies, fMRI, MR tractography, neuropsychological and psychological 
studies.
The position is funded by the BBSRC and is part of the collaboration of 
the following four groups: Glyn Humphreys and Dietmar Heinke, 
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, Birmingham; S. Shipp, Institute of 
Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London; Paul Matthews and 
colleagues, Oxford Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of 
the Brain and Andrew T. Smith, Royal Holloway & Bedford New College.

The project is part of a long-term effort in the Behavioural Brain 
Sciences Centre (BBS) to establish computational modelling as a standard 
method within cognitive neuroscience.  Examples for first results can be 
found on Dietmar Heinke's web-page and the BBS web-page. This long-term 
project is also supported by long-standing collaborations with the 
school of computer science, including Aaron Sloman, Ela Claridge and 
John Bullinaria

Applicants should have, or be about to complete, a PhD or a very good 
MSc in a relevant field (incl. computer vision, neural networks, 
connectionist modelling, physics, or applied mathematics).  Familiarity 
with programming (MatLab, C++) would be an advantage.
The posts are available from 1 September 2004 or as soon as possible 
thereafter. Application forms are available from Personnel Services, 
University of Birmingham (j.s.thorp at bham.ac.uk) and informal queries 
should be addressed to Dietmar Heinke (0121 414 4920 
d.g.heinke at bham.ac.uk). Salary will be from £18,893 to £22,954 dependent 
on qualifications and experience. The deadline is 30 June 2004. Please 
quote reference H32966.
