School of Computing & Technology, University of Sunderland

Research Scientist Neuro-Robotics (MiCRAM)
Fixed term – 24 months
£27,466 - £32,796 per annum
Ref: CTR016/1436

At Sunderland, our focus in this EPSRC project is to develop and  
validate biomimetic robots, computational neural models and a  
neuroscience database for the development of a biologically realistic  
model of auditory processing (MICRAM project).   Your job will  
involve the development of a biomimetic robot that uses neural  
computational modeling to simulate the auditory midbrain.

You should be educated to PhD level or possess equivalent research  
experience and a proven ability in research and publication.  A  
degree in a computing discipline is essential and knowledge of  
biomimetic robotics is desirable.  Experience with GENESIS or similar  
neural modelling and knowledge of the auditory system in mammals and  
of bioacoustics would be advantageous.
