[Eeglablist] PhD position available

[Germán Gómez-Herrero]

Hello,

We have a 3-years position available in our University to work in an EEG/MEG
project (see announcement below). Please forward it to of your colleagues
that might be interested in applying. The exact salary depends on the
qualifications of the applicant but it would be somewhere between 20000 to
26000 euros per year (before taxes). 

 

Thanks,

Germán

 

Full-time researcher in Biomedical Signal Processing (3 years)

 

Title: Measuring spatio-temporal synchronization mechanisms of brain
activity

 

Applications are invited for a full-time researcher with the Transforms and
Spectral Techniques Group, Institute of Signal Processing, Tampere
University of Technology as part of a larger European Union funded research
project entitled Global Approach to Brain Activity (GABA): From cognition to
disease. 

 

Project description:

Synchronization is an ubiquitous phenomenon in Nature, and has been
considered as one of the engines of life in complex biological systems.
This project aims at determining the functional role of normal and aberrant
synchronization mechanisms in the emergence of higher cerebral functions in
health and disease, by using tools borrowed from nonlinear dynamics and
complexity theory. Results from this research are expected to contribute in
the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and in the anticipation of
epileptic seizures. Specifically, the selected candidate will be required
to:

1) Design methods for noise removal and data reduction from high-density
electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings. 

2) Develop new adaptive synchronization measures able to detect
spatio-temporal coherent mechanisms underlying brain activity as measured by
EEG, intracraneal EEG and MEG. 

3) Apply the developed methods to the analysis of real EEG and MEG
databases.

 

Workplace

The normal place of work will be the Transforms and Spectral Techniques
Group of the Institute of Signal Processing, Tampere University of
Technology (Finland), but the applicant will have the opportunity to spend
some periods visiting partners of the project in Europe.  General
information about the Institute of Signal Processing can be found at
http://sp.cs.tut.fi <http://sp.cs.tut.fi/>  

 

Eligibility

Applicants must have an MSc Degree in signal processing, telecommunications,
electronic engineering or allied disciplines, and excellent programming
skills in Matlab. Good communication skills in English are required.
Programming skills in C++ or Java are a plus.  Previous experience on
EEG/MEG analysis is desirable, although not mandatory. The applicant should
be willing to use his/her work in this project to pursue a PhD degree at
Tampere University of Technology. 

Start date – Preferably 1st January 2007 (or early in 2007)

 

Application and informal enquiries:

Applicants must send (in electronic format) their letter of intent, CV, and
a copy of the transcript of records of their highest degree to:
