[Neuroinfo] Several funded PhD positions - in Computational Cognition at the interface of Machine Learning, Computational Neuroscience, and AI.

[Prof. Pipa]

We offer in total 8 funded PhD positions associated with the graduate school
on "Computational Cognition"
(https://www.comco-cms.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/open_positions.html) , at the
interface between Cognitive Science, Machine learning, Computational
Neuroscience, and AI. 

The RTG Computational Cognition aims at reintegrating Cognitive Science and
Artificial Intelligence. PhD students of the RTG will be educated in both
subjects in order to combine the findings of these fields and thus to get a
better understanding of human and machine intelligence. Research fields
involved in the RTG are Neuroinformatics, NeuroBioPsychology, Bio-Inspired
Computer Vision, Knowledge-Based Systems, Cognitive Natural Language
Processing & Communication, Cognitive Modeling, Artificial Intelligence,
Psycho/Neurolinguistics, Computational Linguistics and Cognitive Computing.
The RTG focuses on the integration of two research fields. Further
information on the RTG is available at www.comco.uni-osnabrueck.de. Detailed
information on the core areas of the offered PhD projects can be obtained
from the spokesmen of the RTG, Prof. Dr. Gordon Pipa
(gpipa at uni-osnabrueck.de) and Prof. Dr. Peter König
(pkoenig at uni-osnabrueck.de).

The RTG is incorporated into the Cognitive Science PhD program founded in
2002. PhD students of the RTG will take advantage of an interdisciplinary
environment, which nevertheless focuses on a common research topic and
offers a broad range of methodological synergies between the projects.

Required Qualifications:
Applicants are expected to have an academic degree (Master/Diploma),
experience in at least one of the domains listed above, proven experience in
interdisciplinary work as well as a good command of the English language.

Osnabrück University is committed to helping working/studying parents
balance their family and working lives.

Osnabrück University seeks to guarantee equality of opportunity for women
and men and strives to correct any gender imbalance in its schools and
departments.

If two candidates are equally qualified, preference will be given to the
candidate with disability status.

Applications with the usual documentation should be submitted by e-mail in a
single PDF file to the director of the Institute of Cognitive Science, Prof.
Dr. Gunther Heidemann (gheidema at uni-osnabrueck.de) with a cc to
office at ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de no later than April 19, 2021.

To inquire additional information on for example specific research projects
you can contact the coordinator Gabriela Pipa (gapipa at uos.de).
