for Translational and Entrepreneurial Medicine (SITEM) we are looking
for a passionate postdoc with desire to discover insights in incredibly
rich intracranial EEG datasets recorded during wake and sleep. Start of
project is in the first months of 2022 with a yearly, renewable
contract.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">This sleep-epilepsy project will combine software development, EEG
signal processing and machine learning skills. The candidate will be
trained conjointly by a computational group (A. Tzovara;
<a href="https://neuro.inf.unibe.ch/">https://neuro.inf.unibe.ch/</a>) and a neurologist (M. Baud) who both
specialize in quantitative neuroscience research. The candidate will
mostly work on computational problems, but, if language skills allow
(German or French) will have opportunities to interact directly with
chronic epilepsy patients in the neurology department for the
acquisition of intracranial EEG recordings. The data will consist of
intracranial EEG and single-neurons recorded directly from the human
brain.</span></font></p>
