Connectionists: job offers in research center in Spain

[researcher2]

Fatronik is a private Research Center based in San Sebastian, Spain. It’s 
a member of Tecnalia, the only spanish Technology Corporation that belongs 
to EARTO (European Research and Technology Organisations).

The mission of Fatronik’s Health Unit is to generate new technologies and 
services that will improve the quality of life of elderly and disabled 
people.

We are opening up and promoting a new Department of Neuroengineering within 
the Health Unit. This involves high-impact combination of technology with 
neuroscience.

We are looking for 3 RESEARCHERS (PhD would be an asset) with a strong 
career interest in Neuroengineering, especially in technological approaches 
such as brain communication interfaces and neuroprosthetics.


The following fields of expertise or experience are considered important 
pluses:

NEURO CLINICAL RESEARCHER (FIK S09):

Background in medical or health science related work:

-          Medical diagnosis.
-          Dementia (e.g. Alzheimer's).
-          Clinical trials.
-          Relations with medical professionals.
-          Market research in patient populations.
-          Health-care institutions and regulations.
-          Brain-computer interfaces (non-invasive or invasive), 
neuroprosthetics.

NEURO NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCHER (FIK S10):

With a background in computational, theoretical or cognitive neuroscience or 
a related work:

-          The biological basis of cognitive decline
-          Brain-computer interfaces (non-invasive or invasive), 
neuroprosthetics.
-          Artificial Intelligence (decision making, pattern recognition)

NEURO TECHNICAL (FIK S11):

-          Medical data acquisition, e.g. EEG, MEG, (f)MRI, PET. 
-          Data analysis.
-          Knowledge system engineering.
-          Artificial intelligence (decision making, pattern recognition).
-          Database design.
-          Interface design.
-          Product testing.
-          Brain-computer interfaces, neuroprosthetics.
-          Portable devices.

The following qualifications would be particularly valued for the 3 
positions:

-          Biomedical Engineering
-          Computer Science
-          Neurosciences
-          Mathematics

In addition to research and prototype development, the research scientists 
are expected to participate in the promotion and expansion of the 
neuroengineering network, through scientific publications and presentations.

The successful candidates will work in an interdisciplinary and 
multinational team. In this regard, ability to perform alone and within a 
team, strong communication skills and capacity to balance multiple 
concurrent tasks are essential.
The working language of the Health Unit is English. 

Please send applications to researcher2 at fatronik.com, specifying the 
reference code FIK S09, FIK S10 or FIK S11 on the mail subject. See webpage
