Applications are invited for two postdoc positions in cognitive/
emotional robotics at the University of Skovde, Sweden.

These positions are part of a four-year European project on bio-
inspired cognitive/emotional robotics (www.his.se/icea). The primary
aim of the ICEA project is to develop a cognitive systems architecture
integrating cognitive, emotional and bioregulatory (self-maintenance)
mechanisms, based on the architecture and physiology of the mammalian
brain.

The two postdoc positions are focused on developing robot/neural net
models of (1) the role of anticipation, representation and emotion in
agent-environment interaction, (2) the interaction between cognitive
and emotional mechanisms. The application deadlines are March 20 and
April 18, respectively.

For further information and detailed application instructions see:

* position 1 (deadline March 20):

     - http://www.career.edu/index.php?post_id=1105
