Ciao Bruce,
would you mind forwarding for me the postdoc position announcement below?
Thanks,

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN USING BRAIN DATA TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
EMOTIONALLY PLAUSIBLE VIRTUAL AGENTS AT CIMEC/CLIC, UNIVERSITY OF TRENTO
A postdoctoral position will soon become available at the CLIC laboratory of
the Center for Mind / Brain Sciences, University of Trento
(http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/) starting as soon as possible from June 2013.
The successful candidate will join a team of computational linguists and
computational neuroscientists whose research is focused on using machine
learning methods to analyze recordings of neural activity (EEG, MEG and fMRI)
to gain insights about conceptual knowledge and other aspects of the cognitive
models of agents involved in language use and interaction. This particular
position will be in the PRESTO project, a collaboration between CIMEC, Delta
Informatica, the University's Computer Science Department, and Fondazione Bruno
Kessler (FBK). The objective of the project is the development of training
environments based on immersion in virtual reality situations in which the
trainee interacts with artificial agents (avatars). The role of the postdoc in
the project will be to run experiments testing the emotional plausibility of
the artificial agents, and studying the interaction between emotions and
decision making in the trainees.
The ideal candidate for the position is a cognitive neuroscientist with a
strong research curriculum in the use of fMRI and/or EEG to study emotions and
interaction. Familiarity with machine learning methods to analyze such data (eg
MVPA) a plus.
The fellowship has a duration of 1 year with the possibility of renewal for a
second year if the results of the first year are satisfactory.
The Language Interaction and Computation Lab (CLIC) is a unit of the University
of Trento's Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMEC) (www.cimec.unitn.it): an
interdisciplinary Centre for the research in brain and cognition including
neuroscientists, psychologists, (computational) linguists, computational
neuroscientists, and physicists. CLIC consists of researchers from the
Departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Science carrying out research on
a range of topics, including concept acquisition and information extraction
from very large multi-modal corpora, combining brain data and data from corpora
to study cognition, and theoretical linguistics.
The official call for the position can be found at:
http://www.unitn.it/en/cimec/11882/study-and-job-opportunities
Deadline for the application is April 30th.
For additional information please contact Massimo Poesio (massimo.poesio at
unitn.it), attaching your CV.
