The Intelligent Signal Processing group at the University of Barcelona is looking for a Post-doctoral researcher to work in the area of biologically inspired signal processing. This position will be funded through the FP7 project NEUROCHEM, which involves 9 European Universities and research centres coordinated by the University of Barcelona. The position will be funded for 1 year starting as soon as the position is filled. 

Research
The postdoctoral researcher will conduct research on information processing mechanisms inspired on the olfactory system. This involves working with models of the olfactory system to determinewhat chemical processing principles can be useful for machine olfaction.

Requirements
The candidate is required to have some experience with neural models and a good programming skills in C++. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research to be conducted, candidates with the following backgrounds will also be considered: Signal processing, chemometrics, neural networks, neural computation, and computational neuroscience. Good command of English is also required. 

Group
The Intelligent Signal Processing (ISP) group at the Universitat de Barcelona is currently composed by 12 members: 2 associate professors, 1 assistant professor, 2 postdoctoral scholars, 8 PhD students. Four additional associate professors cooperate in a regular basis with the ISP group (http://isp.el.ub.es).

Application
Send a CV and a short list of research interests to Dr. Agustín Gutierrez (agutierrez@el.ub.es) or Dr. Santiago Marco (santi@el.ub.es).
