Predoctoral Researcher in Decoding Motor Neural Activity using Computational Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Description

 El grupo BSICoS de la Universidad de Zaragoza busca un/a investigador/a predoctoral altamente motivado/a para integrarse en el proyecto Starting Grant ECHOES 101077693, financiado por el European Research Council. El proyecto se centra en el estudio de la actividad de poblaciones neuronales extraída a partir de registros electromiográficos de alta densidad. El/la candidato/a trabajará en el desarrollo e implementación de técnicas de procesado de señal y modelos de neurociencia computacional para desarrollar tecnologías basadas en interfaces neuronales para neurorehabilitación.

Profile

 Essential requirements:

  • Master's degree or bachelor's degree in electronics, computer science, telecommunications, biomedical engineering, physics, mathematics, or related fields
  • Previous experience in biomedical or neurophysiological signal processing.
  • Experience in time series analysis methods.
  • Knowledge of machine learning techniques.
  • Proficiency in programming languages, preferably Python or MATLAB.
  • High level of motivation, capacity for autonomous work, and proactive profile.
  • Communicative competence in scientific English (reading, writing, and presentations)

Highly valued:

  • Knowledge of computational neuroscience or neurophysiology.

The Neural Interfaces Laboratory within the BSICoS group at the University of Zaragoza is part of the Aragon Institute of Engineering Research (I3A), the Aragon Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón), and the Biomedical Research Networking Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials, and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN). Within BSICoS, the Neural Interfaces Laboratory aims to develop new techniques to study the characteristics of communication between the central nervous system and muscles.

BSICoS offers a multidisciplinary and dynamic environment in which new members can participate in a wide range of academic and social activities. The group is strongly committed to training new researchers and providing them with the tools and resources needed to build a successful professional future.
