[Hplusroadmap] Fwd: [neuro] [Comp-neuro] Software Lead for Stanford's Neurogrid Project

[Bryan Bishop]

I wonder if we can get our hands on the design schematics of these 
emulation units. Apparently the neurogrid team is doing neurons in 
silico. I remember Markram mentioning something like this with IBM and 
FPGAs. Hm.

   Software Lead for Stanford's Neurogrid Project
   Brains in Silicon Lab / Clark Center / Bio-X

   Stanford's Department of Bioengineering seeks to hire a software
   engineer or computational scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Kwabena
   Boahen to lead the software thrust of the lab's NIH-funded Neurogrid
   project. The project's goal is to make it easy and affordable for
   neuroscientists to perform simulations at a scale that can link
   cellular-level mechanisms to the system-level functions that they
   enable, thereby accelerating progress in brain research. You will 
join
   the team designing and building Neurogrid, a specialized hardware
   platform that will emulate (simulate in real-time) a million neurons
   in the cortex, together with an extensible graphical user interface
   and scripting language for (re)configuring the neurons' properties 
and
   visualizing their activity. Achieving seamless software-hardware
   interoperation will require the software and hardware thrusts to
   collaborate closely.


   Qualifications: BS in Computer Science (or related discipline) and at
   least four years experience as a software engineer is required. A MS
   or PhD in the sciences or engineering is preferred. A background in
   professional scientific computing with specific expertise in
   human-computer interaction is a strong plus. Excellent oral and
   written communication skills are essential for this collaborative
   project.
