Postdoctoral Position – EEG, AI & Neonatal Brain Development

We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to investigate early brain  
development in preterm infants using EEG and artificial intelligence  
at Picardie Jules Verne University, Amiens, France.
The project aims to develop AI-based models of cerebral maturation  
during the second and third trimesters of gestation, using one of the  
world’s largest neonatal EEG datasets (>15,000 recordings collected at  
Amiens University Hospital, France).

The project combines:
•	Large-scale EEG analysis and phenotyping
•	Machine learning / AI modeling of developmental trajectories

The goal is to build interpretable, scalable tools for evaluation of  
brain maturation in preterm neonates.
The project is conducted under the co-supervision of Prof. Sahar  
Moghimi (GRAMFC- Inserm UMR1105) and Prof. Florence Levé (MIS, UPJV),  
within GRAMFC (Inserm UMR1105, Amiens).

Profile / expertise
PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, data science, or related field
Strong experience in EEG analysis and/or time-series analysis
Strong experience in machine learning and AI models
High skills in Python
Interest in neurodevelopment
Experience with large datasets is highly desirable.

Submission deadline: June 15th, 2026
Start date: September 2026
Location: Amiens, France
Duration: 12 months
Salary: According to University standards (depending on experience)

Applications including a CV with up-to-date list of publications, a  
motivation letter, and the contact information of two referees, should  
be send to sahar.moghimi at u-picardie.fr and florence.leve at u-picardie.fr
