募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
The International Research Center for Neurointelligence (IRCN), based at The University of Tokyo Institutes for Advance Study in Japan, is seeking pioneering, enthusiastic, collaborative, and open-minded scientist(s) to establish a research program in neuro-inspired artificial intelligence (A.I.). We are particularly interested to promote in-house collaboration between theorists and experimentalists around emergent principles of brain development and its disorders.
https://ircn.jp/en/
Human and artificial intelligence have much to learn from each other. At IRCN, we focus on brain development and its disorders to inspire novel A.I. as well as its application toward disease prediction and prevention. Our Team Science approach has made breakthrough discoveries in five areas: Neuromodulation (reinforcement learning), Critical Period Mechanisms, Social Learning, Intrinsic Activity and Predictive Coding. We are now seeking exceptional candidates for the role of Principal Investigator (Professor) to integrate these findings into innovative A.I. This fusion of basic and clinical neuroscience with computational approaches is actively supported by state-of-the-art core facilities in cellular and human imaging, data science and gene targeting tools.
IRCN welcomes all qualified candidates, regardless of nationality or gender, and works positively to eliminate biases. Notably, IRCN has an extensive overseas research network, encourages and supports our candidates' close collaborations with them. Our institutional language is English; Japanese language skills are not required. Support for researchers to live and thrive in Japan is provided by our talented staff. Start-up support is provided during the initial period of the PI’s laboratory. Position details are provided below. -
