Dear all,
please find below information about an open engineer position focused on EEG of baby brains.
Best,
Virginie


Engineer/Statistician position

The INSERM / CEA Development of Neuroimaging lab in Neurospin, Saclay (91, France) offers a 2 to 5 years position for a research engineer or statistician to develop robust processing and analysis methods of infants’ brain signal measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).
Brain imaging techniques provide large amounts of data that require new analysis techniques and a robust control of the reliability of the results, particularly in infants whose patience is minimal, the vigilance variable and the movements important. All these factors affect the quality of the signal. Furthermore infants’ spontaneous activity is variable and ample generating greater endogenous background noise than in adults.

The aim of the work will be to
1) Develop robust pipelines for EEG/MRI data processing taking into account the infants’ signal characteristics in order to robustly extract the brain activity associated with a cognitive task from the endogenous and exogenous noise
2) Characterize the properties of the endogenous brain activity and its maturation during the first year of life in order to understand the functional architecture of the main networks that allow the development of complex cognitive functions (e.g. language, consciousness) in the human species.

Applicants should possess a solid technical background in signal processing and/or statistics and be able to code in Matlab and/or Python.

The position is opened for a maximum of 5 years, funded by a European contract (CDD use) from 1 November 2016. Salary is based on qualifications (from 1900 euros / month, medical insurance comprised)
