Subject: [Comp-neuro] PhD Position for research on neural computation and learning in spiking memristive architectures

The research group of Robert Legenstein at the Graz University of Technology in Austria ( http://www.igi.tugraz.at/legi/ ) offers a

        PhD position

for research on computation an learning in networks of spiking neurons,

with application to neuromorphic hardware with memristive devices. The position is funded by the chist-era project PNEUMA ( short description ). The project runs for three years.

The successful candidate is expected to study novel models of probabilistic computation in spiking neural networks in theory and computer simulations.
See, e.g., Buesing et al., 2011, Legenstein and Maass, 2011, Nessler et al., 2010 for related work.
Within the PNEUMA project, these models will be implemented by other project partners in neuromorphic hardware with memristive synaptic devices.

Applicants should send their CV, statement of interest, and pdf's of relevant publications (e.g. master thesis) to Robert Legenstein
robert.legenstein@igi.tugraz.at

All applications received before September 9th, 2011, will be given full
consideration, but applications will be expected until the position is
filled.
