Postdoc in Neurocomputing Applications - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The post doc position is funded by the EU FET H2020 project “The Human Brain Project” (HBP, SGA3), and addresses research in event-based vision and neuronal computation for robotic systems. The successful candidate will explore the use of spiking sensors and algorithms, ideally on dedicated neuromorphic hardware (such as SpiNNaker, Spikey, or Loihi) to control real or virtual robots in the neurorobotics platform (NRP, https://neurorobotics.net). Multiple experiments are envisioned, ranging from motor-control for compliant tendon-driven robots (e.g. for Neuroprosthetic Devices), up to event-based vision for scene understanding and mobile robot navigation. Optionally technology transfer from the lab environment into industry or Start-up Company. The advertised position might include a 20% teaching obligation.

What we offer

• International workplace.
• A leading technical university that creates knowledge and expertise for a sustainable future.
• An exciting and motivated team in the research field neurocomputing for technical applications.
• Access to neurocomputing hardware and expertise in algorithms.
• Here you get colleagues with high ambitions in an open, curious and dynamic environment.
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH

Qualifications

Requirements

• A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal competence and suitability.

Preferred qualifications

Preferred qualifications include expertise about event-based vision systems (dynamic vision), neuronal networks and computational neuroscience, neurocomputing hardware (preferably SpiNNaker) and experience in robotic applications.
