Research Assistantship and PhD in ECE with a focus on EEG-based Noninvasive Brain Computer Interface Design at Northeastern University, Boston, MA, USA
** Please forward to highly qualified students who may be interested ** Individuals with excellent background and credentials who are interested in pursuing a PhD in statistical signal processing and machine learning towards the design of a noninvasive brain computer interface (BCI) in a 5-year translational research project funded by NIH are invited to apply for a graduate research assistant position under the supervision of Deniz Erdogmus in the Department of ECE at Northeastern University (NU). Qualifications required for this position include: a solid understanding of statistical modeling and inference, signal processing, machine learning, and pattern recognition; a strong background in relevant fields such as linear algebra, optimization, probability theory; a strong background in Matlab and C++, as well as experience with real-time data acquisition and signal processing. Candidates with prior research experience, preferrably in a relevant topic, evidenced by an MS thesis and publications in high quality international journals and conferences will be given higher consideration. This project is in collaboration with researchers at the Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR. Funding for this RA position is available for up to 5 years starting immediately and continued funding will depend on satisfactory performance of the RA and the availability of continued funding by NIH.
