| Postdoctoral Research Position The Neural Processing and Control Lab (NeutralPC Lab) at the University of Rhode Island (URI), the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering (ECBE), is seeking a postdoctoral scholar in the field of neural signal processing and machine learning algorithms. The focus of the position will be on the development of data fusion algorithms to decode multimodal neural responses including EEG and fNIRS. The candidate is expected to be involved in all aspects of this research including experimental design, data collection, method development, signal analysis and interpretation, manuscript preparation, and grant development. The candidate may also contribute to ongoing virtual reality (VR)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) projects and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. | |
| The candidate is expected to have a solid background in signal processing, machine learning, and proficiency in MATLAB. The candidate is also expected to have experience with the analysis of neurophysiological data such as EEG, fNIRS. Candidates without any demonstrations of proficiency in these areas will not be considered. In addition, the candidate should have excellent writing and communication skills as well as a strong work ethic. | |
| The NeuralPC Lab is located in The Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering one of the most technologically advanced facilities in the United States, featuring flexible spaces for interdisciplinary collaboration, and equipment essential to forward-looking research. This building is located on the main campus in Kingston, an established, family-friendly, small community only five miles from Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Kingston lies in close proximity to popular tourist destinations, like Narragansett, Boston, and New York, yet still retains its small-town feel. | |
| Applicants should email a CV, a brief personal statement including research objectives, and contact information for two professional references to Dr. Yalda Shahriari (yalda_shahriari@uri.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. |
