2x Post-Doctoral Positions (Faisal Lab @ Imperial College London)
Dear Colleagues We are looking to hire two 3-year PostDoctoral Research Fellows in the areas of computational neuroscience, eye movements & motor control with the opportunity of translating their basic research into immediately useful clinical applications for movement impaired citizens. The projects focus on two core areas of our lab: 1. action intention decoding from natural eye movements (and translation into control of robotic manipulators with spinal cord injury patients). 2. quantifying natural sensory and movement statistics of humans in daily life using our wearable technology to capture 70% of sensory input and 90% of movement output in people's life. and characterise these in terms of hierarchical structure of behaviour and sparse coding of movement. The ideal backgrounds for these Research Fellowships are computational neuroscience or computational motor control. The hardware and translation aspects for these projects are being custom-developed for the Research Fellows by our industry partners. Similarly, work with patients is supported by our clinical partners. Our Brain & Behaviour Laboratory is truly multi-disciplinary, dynamic and co-located between the Department of Bioengineering and the Department of Computing at Imperial College in the centre of London. Out of 5 post-docs and research fellows we sponsored in the past, 3 are now in faculty (UCL, Imperial) or research group leader positions in industry (Toshiba Research Labs). http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AME198/research-associate/ The positions will be advertised till filled. regards Aldo --- Aldo Faisal Director Brain & Behaviour Lab Dept. of Bioengineering & Dept. of Computing Imperial College London and MRC Clinical Sciences Centre London www.FaisalLab.org
