[Eeglablist] PhD Positions at Neural Processing and Control Lab, University of Rhode Island

[Yalda Shahriari]

*Two full time PhD Positions in Biomedical Engineering at the University of
Rhode Island*


The Neural Processing and Control Lab (NeuralPC Lab) at the University of
Rhode Island (URI), Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical
Engineering (ECBE) has two PhD position openings in the field of neural
signal processing and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems. The position
offers a competitive stipend and tuition waiver for the graduate
assistants.  The nature of this position will provide the graduate students
with opportunities to work on multidisciplinary collaborative projects.

We are seeking highly motivated and talented graduate research students
whose research interests lie at the intersection of neural engineering,
cognitive neuroscience, and control systems. Our current lab’s projects
include developing Hybrid BCI systems, neural signal analysis of patients
with different types of neurological impairments including patients with
disorders of consciousness (DOC), epilepsy, Schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s
disease (PD) with different brain imaging modalities of invasive and
non-invasive recordings. The successful candidates must have master’s
degree in electrical engineering or biomedical engineering, background in
neural engineering, signal processing, machine learning algorithms, and
extensive programming experience with Matlab. Background in BCI and control
systems, cognitive neuroscience, and other programming languages such as
C++ are desired but not mandatory.

The ECBE department, offers programs in BS, MS. And PhD degrees. URI’s
College of Engineering offers innovative undergraduate and graduate
programs with comprehensive doctoral research. The main campus is located
in Kingston, an established, family-friendly, small community only five
miles from Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Kingston lies in close
proximity to popular tourist destinations, like Narragansett, Boston, and
New York, yet still retains its small town feel. The weather is tempered
compared to nearby states due to close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
Living in Rhode Island offers an array of outdoor activities and close
proximity to major metropolitan areas for a quick getaway.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, a brief summary of the
current and proposed research, GRE, TOEFL/IELTS (for international students
only), official/unofficial master and bachelor academic transcripts, and
three letters of recommendation to Dr. Yalda Shahriari (
Yalda_shahriari at uri.edu) preferably before Dec 15th. Please send all your
documents as a single PDF file. Applications will be considered until the
positions are filled.
