 ==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

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
