Required for a 4-year EC-funded project

Description
The project concerns the development of neuronal models to control an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) robot to perform sterotypical moth-like chemotaxis (Chemical Search) behaviour. The project will develop biologically-inspired sensor, processing and control systems for a c (Hemosensing) UAV. Further details on the project and the research teams can be found at http://www.le.uk/eg/tcp1/amoth/. Applicants should have a strong analytical background, a keen interest in neuroscience and a good honours degree (At the 2(i) level or higher) ideally in mathematics or physics. The student will be responsible for developing a detailed mathematical model of the antennal lobe of the moth brain. This model will eventually be deployed on a UAV as part of a control system to guide its behaviour. Opportunities exist for processing real data from the olfactory pathway of the moth collected by our neuroscience collaborators in Sweden. Applicants should have a demonstrated interest in one or more of the following; Neuroscience, Robotics and/or Artificial Intelligence. Good team skills are essential.
