A PhD studentship is available as part of the 5-year £4.8m “Brains on Board” EPSRC Programme Grant ( http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/P006094/1 ), to start in September 2018. This project will develop neuromorphic control systems for autonomous flying robots, based on studies of the honeybee brain and behaviour, that integrate a suite of important behaviours: flight control, multi-modal learning, navigation, sensory integration and decision-making. When deployed, such autonomous robots will be able to explore novel, unstructured terrain, learn the spatial layout of the environment and identify and localise key items of interest based on learned multimodal signatures. We are offering a PhD in computational neuroscience to contribute to the goal of understanding how the honeybee brain generates a rich behavioural repertoire. This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic. The successful candidate will be able to build neural models using our in-house tools Spine...

Together, you’ll use our Hadoop Stack, Python and R to create machine learning models and cutting-edge data products. These will give us the inside track on everything from how best to connect with our audience to what adverts they’d like to see. We want to hear from graduates with at least a 2.1 in statistics, mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering or a quantitative discipline. To ...

The eMentoring scheme aims to provide you with valuable insights into your employment options by linking you up with a professional working in an area of interest to you. A mentor (possibly someone who graduated from your course) can give you practical information, advice and guidance, as well as share the benefits of their experience..You may want to know about the typical activities of a particular role, about job search and strategies that will improve your chances of success in the graduate job market, or steps that will help you make the transition from student to graduate trainee.   How the scheme works We operate two schemes per academic year in Autumn (October– December) and Spring (February-May). Communication is primarily via email and /or Skype. Your mentor may be able to meet with you face- to- face, but this not always practical and it is not a requirement. As a guideline, we suggest your mentoring will require approximately 10 hours of commitment. This incl...
