Neurotechnologies to study and modulate brain activity and analyze its association with the activity of the autonomic nervous system

Deadline

31-07-2024

 

Profile

Researcher with a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering (biomedical, electronics, telecommunications, or computer science). Previous training in the study of biomedical signals will be positively valued 

 

Job Description

The BSICoS (Biomedical Signal Interpreta]on and Computa]onal Simula]on) group at the University of Zaragoza is seeking a researcher to join a na]onal project funded by the State Research Agency. The project's goal is to combine non-invasive brain s]mula]on techniques with muscle recordings to develop new methods for inducing plas]city and studying human brain ac]vity.
Addi]onally, the project aims to inves]gate the rela]onship between these techniques, different types of tremors, and the autonomic nervous system for their characteriza]on.

The selected researcher will be responsible for the main experiments and developments in the project.

 

Offered Contract Details

We offer a 1-3-years contract. After this contract, the researcher will have the opportunity to continue working on related projects within the group until completing the PhD. The salary will be determined by the University of Zaragoza based on the selected candidate's experience and qualifications (refer to the link:  https://gespi.unizar.es/impresos-y-valoraciones).

 

Neural Interfaces Laboratory at the BSICoS group, University of Zaragoza

BSICoS is a leading group in the development of biomedical signal analysis techniques. The group is part of the Aragón Institute
for Engineering Research (I3A) at the University of Zaragoza, and also belongs to the Aragón Institute for Health Research (IIS Aragón) and the Biomedical Research Networking Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials, and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN).

BSICoS offers a multidisciplinary and dynamic environment where new members can participate in multiple academic and social activities. We are committed to training new researchers and professionals in bioengineering and providing them with the necessary tools and resources for a successful professional future. We also value the mental health of our employees and encourage collaboration and interaction through various events for the mutual benefit of our members. 

Within the BSICoS group, the selected researcher will work in the Neural Interfaces line, conducting both basic and translational research related to the study of motor control and its neural bases, and in the Autonomic Nervous System line, where research is conducted on the non-invasive characterization of this system in different contexts, including tremor. We have advanced research equipment for the study of neural activity in humans and animal models.
