Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neural Engineering<br>
<br>
University of Essex - School of Computer Science and Electronic
Engineering<br>
<br>
The Essex Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neural Engineering
laboratory is happy to announce a postdoctoral position in the MURI
project "Closed-Loop Multisensory Brain-Computer Interface for
Enhanced Decision Accuracy" (more information at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sites.usc.edu/muri-project/">https://sites.usc.edu/muri-project/</a> ).<br>
The project is a very exciting one and we have teamed up with
outstanding partners from USC, Harvard, UCL, Berkeley, Imperial,
among others.<br>
<br>
The Essex team's work on the project focuses on brain-computer
interfacing, on algorithms for signal processing and extraction of
information from EEG and other physiological signals, on behavioural
and neuro-physiological investigations of multisensory feature
binding and integration, as well as methods for predicting the level
of attention and confidence in decision making of a participant from
behavioural, physiological and neural data in real time.<br>
The duties of the role include conducting research, development and
dissemination of neural engineering techniques within the MURI
project.<br>
<br>
Applicants are expected to hold a PhD (or be very close to
submitting their PhD thesis) in Biomedical Engineering,
Brain-computer Interfaces, Neural Engineering, Electronic
Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science or a closely
related discipline. The ideal candidate will have significant
experience in signal processing, statistical modelling of neural
signals and processes. Applicants are also expected to have a strong
publication record (relative to their career stage) as first author,
ideally including publications in 1st quartile journals in relevant
areas.<br>
<br>
The successful applicant will join the Essex team - formed by Dr
Luca Citi (PI), Prof Riccardo Poli (Co-I and UK team leader), Dr
Caterina Cinel (named Research Fellow) - and will be part of the
Essex BCI-NE Lab, today the UK's largest research group in
brain-computer interfaces.<br>
<br>
This post is initially fixed-term until the 31st of October 2019 but
may be extended for two more years if further funding is approved.<br>
<br>
Appointment will be made as Senior Research Officer.<br>
<br>
Closes: <b>30th June 2018</b><br>
Job Ref: REQ01468<br>
Salary: £32,548 - £34,521 per annum<br>
