Fellow Computational and Theoretical Neuroscientists and Cognitive-
System Scientists
I would like to brink your attention our PhD-program in Complex
Dynamical Systems - Cognitive System Theory
At the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Frankfurt
am Main,
Field(s): cognitive systems, complex systems, neural networks,
adaptive dynamical systems, theoretical neuroscience
Application deadline: January 6, 2008
Contact: Prof. Claudius Gros
E-mail: secretariate[ [ à ] ]itp.uni-frankfurt.de
Address: Institute for Theoretical Physics,
J.W. Goethe University Frankfurt,
Job description:
Applications are invited for a PhD position, with a BAT IIa/2
salary, equivalent to about 1000 Euro monthly.
Complex systems in the form of dynamical gene-regulation networks
constitute the basis
of all livings. On a higher level it constitutes a central
challenge to understand the brain and
to develop a comprehensive theory of artificial cognitive systems
in terms of structured dynamical
networks.
The field of research involves the development of the Frankfurt
Cognitive System Platform for an
autonomous general-purpose cognitive system based on a meta-
network of self-adapting generalized
neural networks.
The candidates should have a Diploma/Master in natural sciences,
cognitive sciences or informatics
with an excellent academic track record and good computational
skills. Experience or strong interest
in the fields of artificial or biological cognitive systems are
expected. The degree of scientific research
experience is expected to be on the level of a German Diploma/Master.
The appointments will start in early 2008, for up to three years.
Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae and arrange
for two letters of reference to be sent to the
address below.
