Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neuroscience - University of Leicester
At Leicester we're going places. Ranked in the top 20 universities in Britain our aim is to climb further. A commitment to high quality fused with an inclusive academic culture is our hallmark and led the Times Higher Education to describe us as "elite without being elitist".
This is an exciting research opportunity to contribute to the development of a low power wireless implantable chip, used to process and transmit data from recorded neurons to external devices (like brain machine interfaces). The focus of your research will be the implementation of optimal spike detection and sorting techniques.
The project will be carried out with Prof. Rodrigo Quian Quiroga, director of the newly created Centre for Systems Neuroscience at the University of Leicester (www.le.ac.uk/neuroengineering).
You will have, or be close to completing, a PhD in Neuroscience, Signal Processing or a related area such as physics, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences. You will have a strong background in Mathematics (mainly Signal Processing) and/or Neuroscience. Experience with neurophysiology is also desirable. The position also requires very good knowledge of programming, especially in Matlab.
Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Prof. Rodrigo Quian Quiroga on rqqg1@le.ac.uk or 0116 252 2314.
The closing date for this post is midnight on 5 September 2012.
