[Eeglablist] Two postdoctoral positions available

[Scott Makeig]

*Job Description*: We are seeking two 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.

*Funding Period:* Salaries will be competitive. The project is currently in
the first of five years of funding, with subsequent renewal for an equal
period possible. Transitions to permanent government research positions may
be available for successful candidates.


*Minimum Requirements:* Ph.D. with research experience in computational
approaches to cognitive psychology or neuroscience. Both beginning and more
senior postdoctoral candidates are encouraged to apply.


*Preferred Qualifications:* Strong computational skills with experience in
design, analysis, and statistical signal processing / machine learning
applied to data from complex experimental designs. American citizenship
preferred.


*Instructions to Applicants:* Applicants should submit a cover letter and
CV, including the names and contact information of three references. Include
in the cover letter accompanying the application a summary of your research
experience and goals. Send application materials to:
