PhD Position: Computational approaches to the neural control of movement We are seeking UK/EU candidates for a fully funded PhD position at the School of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Leeds. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Ioannis Delis and will have the opportunity to interact and collaborate with other members of the Motor Control group. The ideal candidate will have an interest in some of the following areas: Recording and analysis of EMG, EEG and kinematic signals, design of complex behavioral experiments/tasks, biomedical signal processing, machine learning, statistical pattern recognition, cognitive modeling. No extensive previous experience in the above is required. However, a strong propensity for interdisciplinary research and a keen interest in understanding how the brain controls movement as well as extensive programming experience (Matlab and/or Python) is highly desirable. Interested candidates are invited to contact Dr. Ioannis Delis (*i.delis@leeds.ac.uk <i.delis@leeds.ac.uk>*) emailing their CV and briefly explaining their interest in this position. Starting date is flexible (September 2018 would be preferred). Project description: The aim of this project is to develop a mathematical analysis framework to a) analyze neurophysiological (EMG/EEG) and behavioural signals (kinematics/accuracy/response time) and b) model sensory-motor behavior in order to understand how the human brain and spinal cord interact with the musculoskeletal system to generate movement. The post holder will have the opportunity to a) develop new advanced methods based on machine learning, signal processing and information theory, b) design and perform behavioural experiments with human subjects and c) analyze experimental data in collaboration with experimental neuroscience laboratories.
