Connectionists: Postoctoral Research Associate Position at OHSU

[Deniz Erdogmus]

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position at OHSU:

A postdoctoral research associate position is available for a highly 
qualified candidate starting as early as April 1st, 2006 at the 
Point-of-Care Laboratory (PoCL) of the Oregon Health and Science 
University, Portland, Oregon, USA. The PoCL is directed by Prof. Misha 
Pavel and also includes Assistant Professors Tamara Hayes and Deniz 
Erdogmus as participating faculty.

The PoCL focuses on developing theoretical approaches and novel 
techniques for assistive technologies. Unobtrusive monitoring of elderly 
to help them remain independent and amplifying attention through 
cognitive augmentation with a closed loop brain computer interface are 
sample projects that are currently underway at the PoCL. More PoCL 
Information is available at:

The sucessful candidate will exhibit superior theoretical skills in 
machine learning and signal processing as well as technical skills to 
install, maintain, and operate sensor suites and sensor networks 
necessary for data collection in relevant projects. Strong background in 
Bayesian reasoning and sequential state estimation are also of primary 
importance to this position. This associate is expected to comunicate 
and collaborate with our industry partners including Intel and Honeywell 
on a regular basis. Other duties of the postdoctoral associate include 
assisting with the advising of graduate students, preparation of 
scientific papers, and submission of grant proposals.

It is expected that the initial term of the position will be for one 
year with competitive compensation. The extension of the contract is 
contingent on continued satisfactory performance as determined by 
regular performance evaluations, as well as the availability of funds 
from externally funded research projects.

Portland is an excellent metropolitan city (repeatedly rated at the top 
within US cities) with a wide range of cultural activities and easy 
access to numerous outdoor activities.

Interested candidates should send their application materials - cover 
letter, CV, statement of research interests and research experience 
(concatenated in one big pdf file, please) - to Deniz Erdogmus at 
derdogmus at ieee.org by email.
