The faculty of technology, art and design at OsloMet is hiring two PhD fellows (100%) at the Department of Computer Science. The appointment is for a term of 4 years, with 25% duties associated with education tasks (teaching, lab, supervision, etc.).
Area of research
Modeling and implementation of self-organising computing systems based on biological and artificial neural networks, and nanomagnetic systems.
The two PhD fellows will contribute to the SOCRATES (Self-Organising Computational substRATES) research project, funded by the Norwegian Research Council (NFR). SOCRATES is a multidisciplinary project including computer science, neuroscience and nanotechnology, seeking radical breakthroughs toward efficient and powerful data analysis. The project aims at creating a theoretical and experimental foundation of morphogenetic systems based on self-organizing and emergent behavior in biological neural networks and ensembles of nanomagnets. In the SOCRATES project the two candidates will do research in the following areas:
The candidates will work mainly in the area of Artificial Life, Artificial Intelligence, Complex Systems and Bio-inspired methods (e.g. artificial development, evolutionary algorithms) and Computational Neuroscience. The candidates will be associated to the Living Technology Lab and will be members of the Applied Artificial Intelligence research group.
