[Neuro-IT] Research Post at University of York, UK

[Prof A M Tyrrell]

THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS

Research Assistant in Electronics

Automatic Design of Adaptive Systems using Unconstrained Evolution  
and Development on the POEtic Platform

Ref:  AR07163

As a result of a newly funded EPSRC project we are looking to appoint  
a Research Assistant to work in the area of bio-inspired  
architectures, in particular in the areas of evolutionary algorithms  
and computational development. This project aims to use unconstrained  
evolution and development to automatically design hardware capable of  
autonomous tasks. The system will be evaluated with complexity as a  
major consideration and in particular, a study of its scaling  
properties will be made.  The engineering outcome of this will be  
adaptable, efficient, fault-tolerant systems suitable for future  
technology.

You will be expected to have completed, or be very close to,  
submitting a PhD in a bio-inspired research area.  A degree in an  
appropriate discipline is essential.  Have is a strong background in  
bio-inspired work applied to engineering. Experience in FPGA design  
is highly desirable.

Informal enquiries about the post can be made to Professor Andy  
Tyrrell, (email amt at ohm.york.ac.uk) to Dr Julian Miller (email:  
jfm7 at ohm.york.ac.uk).

Closing date for applications: 12.00 noon on Monday 21 May 2007.
  For further particulars and details of how to apply, please see our

Personnel Office, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD,  
quoting reference number AR07163.



The University of York is committed to diversity and has policies and  
developmental programmes in place to promote equality of opportunity.
