Multiple scientist and engineer positions are open for a neuromorphic program (on-going till 2021) in Singapore, at the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR. The program is a multi-disciplinary effort, that straddles across the hardware (neuromorphic chip with RRAM, on-chip learning), middleware (emulator) and software (learning algorithms), and we aim to develop a demonstrating application system at end of the program. The program hence presents an unique research opportunity for candidates hoping to build a complete neuromorphic learning system. We are now in the second year of the program and have made good progress on all three aspects of the program. We have still a few openings for talented scientists and both software and hardware engineers who would be excited to work on any aspects of the program (hardware, middleware, software and system integration). Multiple top-ranked universities and research institutes in Singapore (NUS, NTU, IME, IHPC, I2R) are collaborating on the program.
The work package I am in-charge of is primarily involved in the design of better algorithms for spiking neural networks. To this end, successful candidates will conduct research in one or more of the following areas:
- Neuronal encoding: how to better encode external stimuli into spike based representations to facilitate decoding with high fidelity and also better learning performance (in terms of accuracy and power efficiency).
- Supervised learning: given that spiking neural networks are asynchronous and sparse in their activities, the design of supervised learning algorithms that can fully capitalize on these properties becomes critical.
- Mapping of state-of-art deep learning networks to spiking networks. Neuromorphic learning algorithms are still solving fairly simple problems compared to deep learning. For this, we would like to systematically borrow from the deep learning community networks and learning algorithms that can quickly boost the capabilities of spiking neural networks.
- Unsupervised learning. STDP is well suited for unsupervised learning in spiking neural networks, and we would like to further advance STDP learning in spiking neural networks (both theory and applications).
Preference will be given to candidates who can document knowledge in deep learning, spiking neural networks or signal processing (with interest in spiking neural networks).
Candidates must have a PhD (for scientists) or MS/BS (for engineers) in computer science, computational neuroscience or related fields. Strong programming and quantitative skills are highly desired. Candidates should be proficient in spoken and written English.
The appointment will be for 3 years, and extended for another 1 year, after review. Salaries are commensurate with internationally-competitive salaries and benefits. The start date is flexible and applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
Other benefits include:
- Funding for international conferences and training courses
- Collaboration opportunities with an excellent network of international scientists
Candidates please send your curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests and three references to Dr. Yansong Chua (chuays@i2r.a-star.edu.sg).

PhD Position in Computational Social Choice at University of Amsterdam
Project description
This position is part of the Collective Information Project, which will eventually employ a total of five junior researchers. It is funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) under the VICI scheme.
The aim of the Collective Information Project is to improve our understanding of how best to aggregate information supplied by several independent agents and how the structural properties of the kind of information we wish to aggregate influences the performance of different aggregation mechanisms. Potential applications range from political elections and recommender systems (aggregation of preferences), to crowdsourcing campaigns (aggregation of expert judgments), to knowledge engineering (aggregation of ontologies).

The Proaction Lab is currently very well funded as we have a set of on-going funded projects including a Starting Grant ERC to Jorge Almeida (starting in February) and several FCT projects. We have access to a 3T MRI scanner with a 64-channel coil (with EEG inside
the scanner), to tDCS, and to a fully set psychophysics lab. We have EEG and eyetracking on site.
Finally, the University of Coimbra is a 700 year old University and has been selected as a UNESCO world Heritage site. Coimbra is one of the most lively university cities in the world, and it is a beautiful city with easy access to the beach and mountain.
The deadline for this pre-application is January 10, but you should apply as soon as you can - the sooner the better so that we can prepare the application. If interested send an email to jorgecbalmeida@gmail.com, with a CV, and motivation/scientific proposal letter. If there is a fit, we will jointly apply to these positions.

PhD in Modelling Micromagnetism and Permanent Magnets, Technical University of Denmark
This PhD position at DTU Energy will constitute one part in a unique research project where we want to model permanent magnets on the microstructural level to understand why their resistance to opposing magnetic fields, their so-called coercivity, is much lower than theoretically predicted. The coercivity is the magnetic field that the permanent magnet can withstand before it flips and points in the opposite direction. We will study this phenomenon by realizing a novel and fast computational model built on an existing computational framework for magnetic field calculation written in Fortran.

In a network, the neuroscience research at the RWTH Aachen University, and the Research Center Jülich provide an international English spoken curriculum with obligatory and intense exchange with the University of Pennsylvania (USA).
Potential PhD researchers within this IRTG investigate a clinically and societally highly relevant topic: the neurobiology of pathological aggression and impulsivity. Doctoral candidates will learn, develop and apply advanced brain imaging techniques including structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (high-field MRI and fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencepaholography (EEG), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), receptor distribution and micro-structural architectonic brain mapping.

Ph.D. Scholarships at the University of Sussex: From sensation and perception to awareness
We are delighted to invite applications for the second round of the Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarship Programme in ‘From Sensation and Perception to Awareness’, hosted across multiple Schools at the University of Sussex. Up to eight fully funded positions will be awarded (for UK/EU applicants), starting Sep 2019. The aim of the programme is to bring together doctoral researchers from different disciplines to advance our understanding of the interactions between sensing, perception, and awareness in humans, animals, and machines. Applicants can select from a range of offered projects or propose their own. Pre-specified projects are divided into three main themes: (i) Human-computer interaction and digital arts, (ii) human cognitive neuroscience and computational neuroscience, and (iii) sensory neuroscience.

Research positions in Neuromorphic computing in Singapore
Multiple scientist and engineer positions are open for a neuromorphic program (on-going till 2021) in Singapore, at the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR. The program is a multi-disciplinary effort, that straddles across the hardware (neuromorphic chip with RRAM, on-chip learning), middleware (emulator) and software (learning algorithms), and we aim to develop a demonstrating application system at end of the program. The program hence presents an unique research opportunity for candidates hoping to build a complete neuromorphic learning system. We are now in the second year of the program and have made good progress on all three aspects of the program. We have still a few openings for talented scientists and both software and hardware engineers who would be excited to work on any aspects of the program (hardware, middleware, software and system integration). Multiple top-ranked universities and research institutes in Singapore (NUS, NTU, IME, IHPC, I2R) are collaborating on the program.
