Higher School of Economics is pleased to announce new CAS-funded post-doctoral posts at the Neuroimaging and BCI Group. Research topics include: novel methods for solving EEG and MEG inverse problem, source space analysis of synchrony, techniques for improvement of neurofeedback efficacy and motor imagery BCI.

The laboratory is a structural part of the HSE’s Centre for Cognition & Decision Making with ample collaboration opportunities within the Centre as well as with other research groups at HSE, within Russia, and internationally. Research facilities include multi-channel EEG, navigated TMS-EEG, behavioral, and eye-tracking equipment. The Center also provides access to MEG, fMRI and a range of neurological populations. This new international group collaborates with a number of leading researchers around the world including Richard Leahy(University of Southern California), Sylvain Baillet, Karim Jerbi (McGill University), Judson Brewer (University of Massachusetts at Amherst), Mark Pflieger (Cortech Solutions, USA), Dirk de Ridder (University of Otago).  The post holders will have an advantage of being able to further define and expand the group’s research programme. Further to working on the group's current research strands, the successful candidates will also be encouraged to pursue their own research program.

The job involves:

• working under the direct supervision of Prof. Alexei Ossadtchi
• participants are encouraged to pursue their own research in source analysis using EEG and MEG  measurements, source space analysis of synchrony,  developing techniques for improvement of neurofeedback efficacy and motor imagery BCI.
• writing research papers for international peer-reviewed journals in co-authorship with the members of the Lab
• some teaching as well as public presentations of candidate’s own research are also encouraged
• participation in organization of the events and other contribution to the Lab’s development

Requirements:

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or related discipline
• Demonstrated skills in signal processing and analysis of multidimensional real life data
• Familiarity with Matlab and Ptython
• Fluent English (knowledge of Russian is not required)
• Demonstrated ability and high motivation to conduct high-quality research publishable in quality international peer-reviewed journals
