[Eeglablist] Vacancy for PhD & scholarship

[Eduardo Reck Miranda]

Hello,

An announcement for a vacancy for PhD studies & scholarship in the field of
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is appended  bellow.

I am aware that one should not be posting announcements in the EEGLab user's
list, but I thought that this might be of interest to this community.

Please spread the word within appropriate venues and bright potential
students of yours. Although the call below mentions background in music
technology, we are flexible if the candidate is strong in EEG + real-time
signal processing. 

Informal enquiries - on matters not explained on the Web page mentioned
below - can be made directly to me.

Regards,

E R Miranda

--- ANNOUNCEMENT ---


Vacancy for PhD studies and scholarship

The computer music team at the University of Plymouth's Faculty of
Technology is looking for a highly qualified graduate to pursue a PhD in the
field interactive music systems, focusing on Brain-Computer Interfacing
(BCI) for musical systems. A brain-controlled musical device is of great
interest to both entertainment and therapeutic industries.  

A scholarship is available on a competitive basis, conditioned to the
potential of the candidate to conduct world-class research. The scholarship
will cover the University fees (UK/EU rates; overseas will have to find
other sources to cover the difference in the fees) plus a stipend of £10.000
per year, for three years.  (It is expected this will rise to & £11k in year
2 and £12k in years 3 in line with the research councils¹ stipends.)

Candidates will have a music technology background, with good grasp of
algorithmic composition techniques and digital interfaces. Good programming
skills are essential (e.g., Matlab, C/C++ and/or Max/MSP/Jitter). Experience
with biosignal processing and/or EEG is highly desirable.
