The Donders Institute is looking for a postdoctoral researcher on brain-inspired machine learning for DEEPSELF, a joint project between the Donders Institute (Netherlands, supervision: Pablo Lanillos) and Tübingen University (Germany, supervision: Martin Butz), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). DEEPSELF is an interdisciplinary project that aims to study the emergence of the agency metacognition ability by learning hierarchical predictive encodings of events. ··············································· Detailed information, candidate profile and application here: https://www.ru.nl/english/working-at/vacature/details-vacature/?recid=118396... Deadline: 6 March 2022 ··············································· If you have any doubt about this great opportunity please do not hesitate to contact me.

You will work in an international project team in close collaboration with two PhD candidates and the principal investigators. You will join an exciting and vibrant young team of experts in machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics, and become part of a big community of ~20 interdisciplinary research projects under the Active Self DFG priority programme umbrella. Thus, you will have the opportunity to take leadership responsibilities and considerably increase the research network. Furthermore, you will participate in summer schools and events organised within the framework of the priority programme. After completion of the project, you will have opportunities to continue in academia and industry.

We strongly encourage submissions from different representative minorities.
