EPFL - Postdoc Opening in Non-Invasive Neuroprosthetics

EPFL, one of the two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology has immediate openings for one postdoc position in the field of brain-computer interaction (BCI) to work in the lab of Prof. José del R. Millán. Millán's lab conducts research on non-invasive BCI and neuroprosthetics. His lab is part of the newly-launched Center for Neuroprosthetics, which carries out research at the interface of neuroscience and bioengineering in an environment of both theoretical and experimental research, rich for the development of novel enabling technologies as well as for seeking deeper understanding of fundamental mechanisms underlying the field of neuroprosthetics.

The successful candidate will work in the framework of European and Swiss projects related to the development of novel non-invasive BCI for neuroprosthetics. She or he will also investigate the underlying machine learning and signal processing principles for robust recognition of different cognitive processes.

The candidates will hold a PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, cognitive neuroscience or related fields. She or he should have a proven record of research in prosthetics or motor control. In addition, the successful candidate should have a good background in statistical machine learning, signal processing, EEG analysis, human-machine interaction, and/or intelligent/adaptive robotics. Excellent programming skills are a must. Candidates must also have a good command of spoken/written English language.

The position is available immediately and will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.

Application: Interested candidates should send a short letter of motivation, a detailed CV, and names of 3 references to Prof. José del R. Millán at jose...@epfl.ch
