Postdoctoral Research
Assistant in functional optical
neuroimaging (fNIRS) interpretation
Publication
date: 30-Dec-2015; Revised: 1-May-2016
About the Position: The
Department of Computer Science at Instituto Nacional de
Astrofísica, Óptica y
Electrónica (INAOE) in Puebla, Mexico, invites applications
for a 1.5 years
full-time postdoctoral research assistant position in the
field of functional
optical neuroimaging (fNIRS) interpretation. The position will
suit candidates
with strong background in Knowledge Representation, Statistics
and Experimental
Design, Medical Physics and/or Neurosciences. Candidates must
hold a Ph.D. in a
relevant discipline (e.g. computer science, mathematics,
statistics, physics, engineering,
neurosciences). The position is invited as from the 1st of
September 2016 but
earlier or later incorporations might be considered.
About the project: Functional
near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging neuroimaging
modality
available for understanding brain behaviour for which current
analysis and
interpretation methods were often inherited and adapted from
other neuroimaging
modalities such as functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI). This migration
of methods is never trivial or without compromises. This 3
years $2M MXN
project explores alternative analysis and interpretation
algorithms and
techniques specifically developed for fNIRS which can answer
complex questions
about cognitive activity while considering and exploiting
fNIRS specific
particularities.
