                  Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
                               and
                     Graduate Studentship 

                 Neural Computing Research Group
                          Aston University
                      Birmingham B4 7ET, U.K.

The Neural Computing Research Group at Aston is looking for a highly
motivated individual for a 3 year postdoctoral research position in
the area of `Signal and Pattern Processing of Magnetoencephalographic
Data`.   The project will study single and multichannel data obtained
from an Aston magnetoencephalography (MEG) facility for signal
enhancement and processing. The MEG research group is engaged in 
 basic studies of normal and abnormal vision, epilepsy, and gamma-
band activity; and in clinically related studies on the localisation
of eloquent cortex in pre-surgical investigations.  Advanced pattern
processing techniques are needed, including artificial neural network
methods for enhancement, clustering, visualisation, segmentation and
classification.

Potential candidates should have strong mathematical and computational
skills and an interest in the application of these skills to basic and
clinically related neurosciences research.  Knowledge of linear and
nonlinear signal processing or expertise in biosignal analysis would
be useful. The successful candidate will also have an opportunity to
contribute to experimental work in MEG.

A supported studentship is also available in the same area.

Further information on this and other positions can be obtained from
http://www.ncrg.aston.ac.uk/.

Salaries for the Fellowship will be at or above point 6 on the RA 1A
scale, currently 16927 UK pounds.  These salary scales are subject to
annual increments. The studentship is supported at the standard UK
rate for PhD students.
