Connectionists: JOB: Post-doc in Neural Engineering

[Luca Citi]

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neural Engineering

University of Essex - School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering

The School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (CSEE) and the 
Essex BCI and Neural Engineering Lab are pleased to announce this 
postdoctoral position in the Horizon 2020 project "DeTOP: Dexterous 
Transradial Osseointegrated Prosthesis with neural control and sensory 
feedback". The project started approximately 2 years ago and will run 
until the end of February 2010.

Web site: http://www.detop-project.eu/

DeTOP's aim is to develop osseointegrated prostheses (i.e. prostheses 
with a direct skeletal attachment) for transradial amputees. We are 
developing a novel prosthetic hand with improved functionality, smart 
mechatronic devices for safe implantable technology, and novel paradigms 
for natural control (action) and sensory feedback (perception) of the 
prosthesis through the implant.

The Essex team is working on the development of robust neuro-muscular 
control algorithms for decoding users' intentions and enabling efficient 
control of the hand-wrist prosthesis.

The successful applicant will have received a PhD in Biomedical 
Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Statistics, Computer Science or a 
closely related discipline. The ideal candidate will have significant 
experience in neural engineering, neuro-muscular signal processing and 
programming on embedded platforms. Applicants are also expected to have 
a strong publication record as first author, ideally including 
publications in 1st quartile journals in relevant areas.

Appointment will be made as Senior Research Officer.

Job reference:     REQ01292
Application closing date: *15/05/2018*
Salary:    £32,548 - £34,521 per annum
