== Open Research Position ==
EEG data analysis for predicting bipolar disorder episodes


The research groups Neuroinformatics (Prof. Dr. Helge Ritter)
and Ambient Intelligence (Dr. Thomas Hermann) at Bielefeld
University invite applications for one

                 **Postdoctoral Position**

for the development of innovative methods for EEG signal analysis
and classification to be carried out in the context of the European
cooperation project MONARCA. This highly interdisciplinary project
aims to develop advanced technology and data analysis methods for
the realization of an innovative multi-parametric, long-term
monitoring system relevant to the disease of bipolar disorder.
Planned duration of the position will be 32 months. The position
is available immediately. Payment will be according to TVL-13.

The hosting groups have extensive expertise in adaptive methods
for EEG signal analysis and datamining. Being part of the Excellence
Cluster "Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC)" we can offer
an exciting and highly interdisciplinary research environment.

We are looking for applicants at the post-doctoral level with
a degree from informatics, electrical engineering, applied mathematics
or physics and a strong interest in brain signal analysis method
development within a medical diagnosis application context.
The ideal applicant should have a significant research background
in at least one of the fields of pattern recognition, time series
analysis, machine learning and datamining and thorough experience
in the implementation of algorithms in C, C++ and/or Matlab.
We will also consider exceptionally qualified applicants at the
university masters or diploma levels.

Bielefeld University is committed to equal opportunity. We strongly
encourage applications from qualified women and persons with
