highly motivated postdoctoral fellows in computational neuroscience to be part
of an interdisciplinary research alliance working to develop mobile brain/body
imaging experimental and data analysis methods in support of a research program
in neuroergonomics (‘the study of the brain and body at work’). An overall goal
of the research is to discover underlying principles describing the
relationship of non-invasively recorded EEG brain dynamics and motivated
behavior (recorded by body motion capture, eye tracking, etc) in interactive,
information-rich human-system operating environments and to apply these
principles to support overall performance of complex system operations. The
ideal candidates will have research experience in neuroscience or cognitive
science with a strong interest in computation or data analysis. The candidates
will be based near Baltimore, Maryland at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL),
Aberdeen, MD, where they will collaborate with a group of Army-funded
government and industry researchers in gathering and analyzing data from
successively more complex and realistic experiments. Successful candidates will
be hired by and will interface with academic research groups at UC San Diego
(Scott Makeig, Tzyy-Ping Jung, Roger Levy, Ken Kreutz-Delgatho, Angela Yu,
Falko Kuester), UT San Antonio (Kay Robbins, Yufei Huang, Nandini Kannan),
and/or University of Michigan (Dan Ferris), with additional ongoing
collaborations with groups at National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan (Chin-Teng
Lin), and University of Osnabrück, Germany (Peter König). The researchers will be encouraged
to work closely with researchers and students at participating universities and
to present their research at conferences and in the open research literature.</font></p>
