Job Description

The position is a full-time PhD studentship for a period of 3 years, starting on Nov 1st, 2023. The research project is titled 'Early vision function in silico networks of LIF neurons'. The project aims to develop an 'artificial observer' composed of an active event-based camera feeding a neuromorphic multi-layer network of leaky integrate and fire (LIF) neurons. The system should provide the inference engines for relating visual representations to performance on perceptual judgement tasks. Multiple and varying parameters captured under complex, real-life conditions should be comparatively assessed in silicon and human observers. The research will be conducted at the Bioengineering/PSPC labs of DIBRIS.

Requirements

Applicants are expected to: (1) have a Master’s degree in Bioengineering
Computer Science
Physics or related disciplines
(2) have a keen interest in Vision Science and in Artificial Intelligence
(3) have good programming skills in at least one language (MATLAB
C/C++
Python
C#)
(4) work well in group problem solving situations
(5) have intermediate communication skills (oral and written in English). Experience in neural modeling is a plus.
