[vslist] UCSD Postdoctoral fellow

[Scott Makeig]

Opportunity: A postdoctoral resident position is available at the new
Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience of the Institute for Neural
Computation, University of California San Diego to apply advanced signal
processing techniques to concurrently collected EEG and stereo face video
data study to observe and model brain dynamics underlying human emotional
expression. 

Center goals: Ongoing projects in the Swartz Center include studies of 
human cognitive processes including attention and memory, role of the 
anterior/posterior cingulate, time perception and emotional expression. 
Data acquisition includes high-density EEG, concurrent EEG and fMRI 
recording and analysis, and face video processing. Current analysis 
approaches include independent component and time-frequency analysis.  

Applicants should have: A determined interest in observing and modeling 
brain dynamics supporting human facial expressions. Background in visual 
and/or time series analysis and modeling required, plus a definite interest 
in cognitive neuroscience.

Research Faculty: Scott Makeig, and Javier Movellan. 

To apply: Applications should send (preferably by email) a letter describing 
their graduate and post-graduate training, research interests, and 
research-relevant skills. Also please include a CV, research bibliography 
and the names of three references.
