<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Cambria">The Rudolf Magnus Institute in Utrecht, The Netherlands is looking for a
highly motivated postdoc interested in neural signal processing for Brain
Computer Interfacing. </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Cambria"><span lang="EN-US">The Utrecht BCI group, led by Prof. dr. Nick Ramsey, is part of the
Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University Medical Center
Utrecht and participates in the nationwide BrainGain Consortium, which is
devoted to application of Brain Computer Interfaces for patients and healthy
individuals. The main focus of the group is conducting neuroscience research
towards an invasive BCI application for paralyzed patients. We perform
experiments with both healthy subjects and patients (</span><span style="" lang="EN-GB">~10 patients with electrode implants available
for research each year)</span><span lang="EN-US">. Available techniques:
128-channel EEG systems for extracranial and intracranial (ECoG) recordings,
fMRI (1.5, 3 and 7 T human Philips systems), TMS and 64-channel intraoperative
recordings in awake neurosurgery. Our highly interdisciplinary group consists of
4 postdocs, 10 PhD students and 6 master students, who have a background in
neuroscience, psychology, biology or physics and their own expertise in the
research field. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Cambria">The postdoc is expected to investigate new ECoG signal processing
techniques for BCI purposes, as well as for cognitive neuroscience research.
He/she will work in close collaboration with neuroscientists and needs to have
excellent communication skills.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Cambria">The candidate is likely to have a PhD in biomedical engineering,
computational neuroscience, electrical engineering or physics, with a record of
publications. Solid experience in signal processing of any kind and excellent
programming skills in Matlab are required. Experience in neuroscience is not a
prerequisite, but we expect the candidate to acquire knowledge of underlying
psychological and biological processes. </font></span></p>
