2 PhD/Postdoc positions in theory of neuromorphic computing, Groningen, NL
H. Jaeger h.jaeger@rug.nl via googlegroups.com
In the group of Herbert Jaeger two fully funded positions are open for PhD students (4 year contract) or Postdocs (3 year contract). Both positions are about formal, theoretical analyses and algorithmic models of „neuromorphic“ computing in non-digital hardware (analog, unclocked, spiking microchips or even unconventional material substrates exhibiting relevant nonlinear dyanmical phenomena).
Herbert Jaeger’s group is embedded in the Groningen Cognitive Systems and Materials Center (CogniGron, https://www.rug.nl/research/fse/cognitive-systems-and-materials/?lang=en). CogniGron, founded in 2018, is an interdisciplinary initiative at the intersection of computer science, AI, machine learning, computational neuroscience and material science. With 10 new professorships and 30 PhD stipends, CogniGron stands out as one of the most visible scientific investments in the Netherlands in recent times.
The *first position* is defined within the European H2020 project „Memory technologies with multi-scale time constants for neuromorphic architectures (MeM-Scales)“, whose central objective is to build (analog, spiking) neuromorphic microchips which can adapt to online input signals which display many timescales. Since microchip physics will deliver only a few physical timescales, collective computational phenomena will have to be explored in order to realize the long-range memory timescales required by many tasks. Since at this point, numerous but hardly explored options are "in the air" for computational timescale management, this position offers much freedom to engage in original work.
The *second position* is funded through university budgets and is independent of specific project demands. The position holder will enjoy unusual freedom, paired with intellectual risk, to contribute to the ultimate scientific goal of Jaeger’s group: a unifying formal theory of information processing in nonlinear dynamical systems - regardless of whether they are similar to biological brains, or rest on non-neural dynamical phenomena in novel material substrates. Obviously, such a unifying theory, which would play for neuromorphic computing a similarly central role as Turing computability theory plays for digital computing, is not in sight and may be even not possible. However, many mini-revolutions in mathematical denoscription formats are possible, and needed.
Each position will be filled by either a PhD student with a 4-year contract, or by a Postdoc with a 3-year contract. The only selection criterion is qualification (product of intellectual audacity, analytical thinking power, and relevant mathematical and factual knowledge).
These two positions are a perfect intellectual challenge for adventurous mathematicians, theoretical physicists / biologists, theoretical computer scientists or analytically minded machine learners with a background in dynamical systems, dynamics on networks, information theory, or formal logic.

4-Year PhD Programme : Study : Sussex Neuroscience : University of Sussex
Fully funded PhD position in Marine Robotics and SLAM for AUVs operating under the Arctic/Antarctic sea-ice
Rationale:
Despite the considerable effort directed towards AUV navigation, a self-contained solution remains a key challenge. Due to the cumulative error that inertial navigation experiences with time, AUVs typically require an external navigation support or regular surfacing to obtain GPS fixes and limit the error [1], which options can be undesirable/unavailable in certain applications (e.g. deep-water and/or under-ice deployments). In response to the presently limited navigation capability, this project will focus on the development of robust navigation techniques for high-powered AUVs that relying on on-board sensors and efficient algorithms will enable navigation in GPS-denied environments. SLAM is a powerful technique where a robot builds the map of the surrounding environment and concurrently localises itself within that map. Although SLAM has been proven to be effective for mobile robots operating in structured environments, the application of these techniques in the highly unstructured underwater domain is immature with outstanding challenges to be addressed. The candidate will be required to develop robust and computationally feasible in real-time sonar-based SLAM algorithms. Upon the successful demonstration of the effectiveness of the algorithms in computer simulations (with respect to the environmental suitability), the candidate will have the opportunity to test the algorithm in real-time via field experiments.

Post-doc position at HRI Laboratory, Kyoto University
The HRI Laboratory (http://www.robot.soc.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/) at Kyoto University (Kyoto, Japan) is recruiting an outstanding young (post-doctoral) researcher. Our laboratory has strong focus on human-robot social interaction in various human-populated environments, e.g. shopping mall. We have a vacancy in a project under a research funding (till March 2023) about human-robot interaction, human-robot symbiosis, and human-robot moral relationships. Thus, we seek for a person who can contribute to this project (http://www.robot.soc.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/english-crest-project/).
In this project, we study social robots that operate in such environments like stores and shopping malls, and aim to develop social interaction of social robots for such a service industry. The project is also motivated by the fact that children sometimes abuse/bully a social robot, which is known as the "robot abuse" problem, and aim to moderate such problems by better establishing moral-relationships between robots and people.
(See some examples here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuJT9EtdETY)
We are seeking applications from young researchers with special interest in human-robot interaction. Candidates with specific expertise/background in the following domains are particularly welcome this time:
- Human behavior recognition using range-finder and/or depth cameras
- Machine learning, such as DNN (deep neural network), for visual and/or auditory perception in context of HRI
- Data-driven HRI, i.e. learning social behavior/interaction from big data
- Human behavior modeling for social robots
- Robotics relevant to social robots
The employment contract is made for each Japanese fiscal year (starting on April and finishing on March of next year); however, the starting period is flexible (after April 2020). Extensions will be expected based on the annual evaluation.
The wage will be decided based on experience and expertise.
Please feel free to ask me (kanda@i.kyoto-u.ac.jp) about details. To apply, please send us email including your CV and a statement about your interest and motivation!
I will participate in IROS 2019, so please feel free to contact me for meeting and talking about more details during IROS 2019.

2 PhD studentships in Systems Neuroscience available at University of Sussex
Project
The PhD positions will develop within the project “Peripheral Olfactory Coding: Information Processing outside the Brain” funded by the Leverhulme Trust. This project will investigate early olfactory coding in the model system of the fruit fly Drosophila. Our aim is to test the hypothesis that one key element underlying odour object recognition are non-synaptic interactions between receptor neurons, i.e. information pre-processing outside the brain. Successful candidates will work in one of two areas, depending on interest: Single sensillum recordings (SSRs) on olfactory receptors or behavioural experiments in a wind tunnel. They will be involved in the entire work from experimental design, practical experimentation, selection and execution of data analysis and, depending on interest, computational interpretation in models. You will work closely with Dr Mario Pannunzi, Prof Thomas Nowotny and Prof George Kemenes on this project.
Candidate Requirements
Candidates should have an MSc or equivalent in natural sciences, ideally in the area of Neuroscience, Physics, Chemistry or Biology. In addition, strong analytical skills and fluency in English are essential for this project. Interest and skills to work in a multi-disciplinary and extensively networked project are important.
PhD Salary
UK/EU fees and a living allowance in line with UK Research Council rates, currently £15,009 in 2019-20 and rising in line with inflation in future years.
Work environment
You will join the exciting interdisciplinary environment of Sussex Neuroscience (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/sussexneuroscience/index) and the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/ccnr/), within which you will work in the groups of Profs Nowotny (http://users.sussex.ac.uk/~tn41/) and Kemenes (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/1469). Colleagues in the groups work on diverse topics ranging from learning and memory in lymnaea stagnalis (pond snail) to the “Brains on Board project” (http://brainsonboard.co.uk/), seeking to emulate bee brains as robotic controllers for navigation. The University of Sussex provides an extremely rich research environment and training opportunities for doctoral researchers. The University is situated in Downs National Park at the edge of the vibrant coastal city of Brighton, known for its cultural richness, tolerance and diversity. The city offers a multitude of cultural activities, a colourful nightlife and is only an hour on the train away from the metropole of London.

6PhD and 5 Postdoc positions Science of Intelligence Berlin (EXC)
Cross-disciplinary research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer vision, behavioral biology, cognitive science, psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and philosophy.
Starting dates: Summer / Fall 2020
Duration: 3 years
Salary level: TV-L 13, 100%
Application deadline: 29.11.2019 23:59 CET
What are the principles of intelligence, shared by all forms of intelligence, no matter whether artificial or biological, whether robot, computer program, human, or animal? And how can we apply these principles to create intelligent technology? Answering these questions - in an ethically responsible way - is the central scientific objective of the new Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence.
Researchers from a multitude of analytic and synthetic disciplines - artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer vision, behavioral biology, cognitive science, psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and philosophy - join forces to create a multi-disciplinary research program across universities and research institutes in Berlin.
Our approach is driven by the insight, that any method, concept, and theory must demonstrate its merits by contributing to the intelligent behavior of a synthetic artifact, such as a robot or a computer program. These artifacts represent the shared “language” across disciplines, enabling the validation, combination, transfer, and extension of research results. Thus we expect to attain cohesion among disciplines, which currently produce their own theories and empirical findings about aspects of intelligence.
Interdisciplinary research projects have been defined which combine analytic and synthetic research and which address key aspects of individual, social, and collective intelligence.
In addition, the Science of Intelligence graduate program promotes the cross-disciplinary education of young scientists on a Master, PhD, and postdoctoral level. All PhD students associated with the cluster are expected to join the Science of Intelligence doctoral program.

Cross-disciplinary research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer vision, behavioral biology, cognitive science, psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and philosophy.
Starting dates: Summer / Fall 2020
Duration: 3 years
Salary level: TV-L 13, 100%
Application deadline: 29.11.2019 23:59 CET
What are the principles of intelligence, shared by all forms of intelligence, no matter whether artificial or biological, whether robot, computer program, human, or animal? And how can we apply these principles to create intelligent technology? Answering these questions - in an ethically responsible way - is the central scientific objective of the new Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence.
Researchers from a multitude of analytic and synthetic disciplines - artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer vision, behavioral biology, cognitive science, psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and philosophy - join forces to create a multi-disciplinary research program across universities and research institutes in Berlin.
Our approach is driven by the insight, that any method, concept, and theory must demonstrate its merits by contributing to the intelligent behavior of a synthetic artifact, such as a robot or a computer program. These artifacts represent the shared “language” across disciplines, enabling the validation, combination, transfer, and extension of research results. Thus we expect to attain cohesion among disciplines, which currently produce their own theories and empirical findings about aspects of intelligence.
Interdisciplinary research projects have been defined which combine analytic and synthetic research and which address key aspects of individual, social, and collective intelligence.
In addition, the Science of Intelligence graduate program promotes the cross-disciplinary education of young scientists on a Master, PhD, and postdoctoral level. All PhD students associated with the cluster are expected to join the Science of Intelligence doctoral program.

Senior Research Officer, Institute for Social and Economic Research - DEADLINE 6 January
The Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER), at the University of Essex, has a worldwide reputation as a multidisciplinary centre of quantitative social science research and as a producer of household panel data of the highest quality.
ISER is seeking to appoint two quantitative social scientists in sociology, demography or an allied field to the post of Senior Research Officer to contribute to the research programme of the ESRC-funded Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MiSoC). MiSoC, created in 1989, is one of the longest running ESRC-funded research centres in the UK. Since its inception, MiSoC's focus has been on analysing the behaviour of individuals and families and how they are shaped by policy and social and economic trends. Its research programme is wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary, and for this post we are looking for two candidates with strong backgrounds in the study of migration and social stratification who can contribute to research on migration, intergenerational mobility, and ethnic inequality as part of the 2019-2024 MiSoC programme.
Duties of the Role
The Institute is looking for candidates to work directly with MiSoC researchers to help prepare data, conduct quantitative analysis, and co-author excellent publications. The person appointed will also have their own coherent and fertile independent research agenda that is consistent with Strand 3 of the MiSoC programme, and should be able to demonstrate the potential to publish at the highest level.
This is a research position and there are no teaching duties associated with this post. Whilst it is a University standard expectation that post holders contribute to applications for external research funding at this level, applicants for this post will not be expected to generate income during the period of this appointment.
The post holder will also be expected to actively participate in ISER's departmental research culture including meetings, seminars and workshops.
A full list of duties and responsibilities can be found within the job pack.
Qualifications and Skills Required
Applicants are required to hold a Doctoral level degree in a relevant social science discipline, or be close to completion of PhD.
Experience in undertaking research in the fields of migration and social stratification, and of data management, statistical analysis and programming in Stata, R or similar software package is essential. You will also possess knowledge of quantitative methods for social scientists and experience of, or a demonstrable interest in, research areas that form Strand 3 of the research programme of the ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change.
Applicants at this level are expected to have evidence of a developing research agenda and experience of contributing to small research programmes or defined areas of larger projects, and of developing research objectives and proposals.
These posts are fully funded by the MiSoC Research Centre for a 24-month period. Whilst they are full-time posts, part-time working will be considered at a minimum of 0.85 FTE (30.6 hours per week).

Gina Cody Research Chair in Computer Science
Senior Research Associate in High-Dimensional Longitudinal Methods, Lancaster
We are recruiting a research associate to join a 3-year Wellcome Trust-funded project for developing statistical and machine learning methods for high-dimensional longitudinal data. Applications close on 24th November. Please see below for more details, and apply here:
https://hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?id=5578
With the advent of high-throughput genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, it has become common practice to collect and process longitudinal biological samples to follow the evolution of a disease or condition using molecular markers. These molecular markers are usually high-dimensional in nature, requiring sophisticated statistical processing. While our ability to measure high-dimensional markers has been steadily increasing, the ability to analyse these data effectively has not kept pace.
The research will bridge the gap between traditional longitudinal population studies and the high-dimensional world of molecular measurements, by developing new approaches for study design, modelling and inference that fully exploit both the cross-sectional (between dimensions) and longitudinal (between times) dependence structures of the data collected in these studies. You will work under the direct supervision of Dr Frank Dondelinger, a machine learning expert with extensive experience working on biomolecular datasets. The project team further includes leading statistical experts in longitudinal statistics (Professor Peter Diggle, Lancaster University), Gaussian processes (Dr Mauricio Alvarez, University of Sheffield) and Bayesian experimental design (Professor David Woods, University of Southampton). You will develop cutting-edge statistical and machine learning methods for dealing with high-dimensional longitudinal data. These methods will then be applied to molecular data from two large-scale population studies: metabolomic measurements from the Pregnancy Outcome Prediction Study (POPS) and DNA methylation measurements from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).
You will be a motivated researcher with experience in developing statistical or machine learning methods and a keen interest in applying your skill set in the biomedical field to improve human health and our understanding of biological longitudinal processes.
The Centre for Health Informatics, Computation and Statistics is a vibrant and diverse research group within the Lancaster Medical School, comprising researchers into spatial and longitudinal statistics, machine learning, statistical genomics and epidemiology. The group has close ties to the School of Mathematics and Statistics and the Lancaster Data Science Institute, both of which have a reputation for excellence in statistical and computational research.
Lancaster University subscribes to the Researcher Development Concordat, and you will be fully supported in your professional and personal development. Lancaster University is committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and the Faculty of Health and Medicine holds a Silver Athena SWAN award. The Lancaster University Pre-School Centre is rated an Outstanding Provider by Ofsted and staff get preferential access to childcare places.
