Connectionists: JOB: Post-doc in Neural Engineering (Brain-Computer Interfacing, EEG analysis)

[Luca Citi]

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neural Engineering

University of Essex - School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering

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: https://sites.usc.edu/muri-project/ ).
The project is a very exciting one and we have teamed up with 
outstanding partners from USC, Harvard, UCL, Berkeley, Imperial, among 
others.

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.
The duties of the role include conducting research, development and 
dissemination of neural engineering techniques within the MURI project.

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.

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.

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.

Appointment will be made as Senior Research Officer.

Closes: *30th June 2018*
Job Ref:     REQ01468
Salary:      £32,548 - £34,521 per annum
