[visionlist] New Post Doctoral Associate position available at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory - Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)

[Schwartz, Maria A.]

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Post Doctoral Associate @ The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU APL)

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) is seeking an exceptional post-doctoral fellow to develop novel brain-computer interface applications.  Successful candidates will have demonstrated experience in designing and implementing neural signal processing and machine learning algorithms; designing and conducting experiments with non-invasive neural signal acquisition devices such as EEG, fMRI and fNIR; and writing software in MATLAB and C/C++.  In addition, preference will be given to candidates with experience in computer vision, medical image processing, and real-time software and hardware systems

The selected Post Doctoral Associate will be responsible for:


 *   Developing and working with neural signal acquisition hardware to acquire neural signals from human subjects.
 *   Implementing neural signal processing and decoding algorithms for end effector control / signaling in brain-computer interface and neuroprosthetic applications.
 *   Design, implement and test novel brain-computer interface applications using non-invasive neural signal acquisition systems and neural signal processing algorithms.
 *   Support applied neuroscience initiatives by analyzing data and assisting with experimental design.
 *   Support neuroprosthetics initiatives through performance analysis and improvement of motor decoding and sensory encoding algorithms.
 *   Work with University faculty and students on collaborative research projects

QUALIFICATIONS:

Required:
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or equivalent. Demonstrated ability in machine learning algorithm development for neural signal processing using Matlab and C/C++.  Experience designing and conducting experiments with non-invasive neural signal acquisition devices such as EEG, fMRI and fNIR.   Excellent written/oral communication skills; ability to articulate complex technical issues effectively.  Five or more years of neural signal algorithm research and development.
US Citizenship - Applicants selected will be subject to a Government security investigation and must meet the eligibility requirements for access to classified information, which includes US citizenship.

Desired:
Experience in the design, development, and implementation computer vision and / or image processing algorithms/ systems.
