PhD & Postdoctoral Fellowships, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland (2015)

Several fellowships, both at the graduate and postdoctoral level are available in a project on bio-inspired computation and robotics. The project integrates models of computational networks (genetic networks, spiking neural networks) with models of mobile and soft robots. We will use a software platform for the evolution of computational networks created by the team led by Prof. Borys Wrobel at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (Poland) in close collaboration with the group led by Dr. Volker Steuber at the University of Hertfordshire (UK).

Applicants for the positions should have a degree (MSc or PhD) in a quantitative research-oriented discipline (e.g., computer science, mathematics, or physics), and good programming skills (C++ or Java, Python, Matlab), and a good level of English, both in writing and in speaking (English is the working language in both the labs, in Poland and the UK). Although the project requires an interest in biology, no previous formal background in life sciences is required.
