Overview
EPSRC Post-doctoral Research Fellow: Cognitive Control of Autonomous Systems, Department of Computing Science and Mathematics, University of Stirling
Vacancy Reference: 16958/7690, Salary Scale: £29,853 - £35,646 p.a.
The Cognitive Signal Image Processing Research (COSIPRA) Laboratory of Dr. Amir Hussain at the University of Stirling invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on the EPSRC project "Dual Process Control Models in the Brain and Machines with Application to Autonomous Vehicle Control".
The general aim of this multi-disciplinary project is to exploit a range of similarities between systems in control engineering and the animal brain, focusing specifically on the concepts of automatised and controlled (or executive) processing and how they might map onto modular
Autonomous Vehicle Control (AVC) solutions.
Given the inherent similarities between the two problem domains of AVC and action selection in animals, this ambitious project aims to leverage new results from psychology and neurobiology discovered in the laboratory of the project Co-Investigator (Prof Kevin Gurney at The University of Sheffield) and apply them to the AVC controllers under development in Dr Hussain's Lab at Stirling. The outcome should be a new generation real-time cognitive AVC controller, more directly inspired by the biological ideas. The appointed postdoctoral researcher will work closely with our industrial partners (Industrial Systems Control and SciSys) to evaluate the benefits of these novel controllers within the challenging context of regular road driving and planetary rover vehicles.
The project is based in the COSIPRA Lab, which is part of the Computational Intelligence Research Group (CIRG) of the Department of Computing Science & Maths of the University of Stirling. CIRG is a world-leading multidisciplinary research group in the field of cognitive
modelling and control of complex systems, and is part of the new School of Natural Sciences. Details about the Department can be found at: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk and about the COSIPRA Lab: http://cosipra.cs.stir.ac.uk
Applicants will be working in the field of intelligent adaptive control engineering, but should ideally have some experience of biologically-inspired modelling. The post is full time for 3 years. Starting salary will be in the post-doctoral RA scale.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr Amir Hussain ahu@cs.stir.ac.uk
Closing date: 05/01/2011 at 12 noon
