The Essex team is leading the development of the real-time decision
support system. Physiological data, along with sleep and speech
analysis, are combined with social interaction monitoring, mood
agenda and questionnaire scores to evaluate all the aspects of
patients (psychological, physical, and social) as a whole with the
aim of predicting the severity and onset of depressive symptoms (see
for example <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

The successful applicant will investigate and develop advanced
signal processing and machine learning algorithms for prediction
purposes. The ideal candidate will have received a PhD in Biomedical
Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or a closely
related discipline, and is expected to have significant experience
of biomedical signal processing and machine learning techniques.
Applicants are also expected to have a strong publication record as
first author, ideally including publications in 1st quartile
journals in relevant areas.
