Job Details:
The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), a national leader in scientific research and development is seeking a Non-Invasive Neural Signal Processing Postdoctoral Fellow.
Responsibilities:
Lead an applied neuroscience research effort that uses fMRI, EEG, or fNIR as an enabling technology and proof of concept for future paradigms of human-computer interactions and for discovering neurophysiological correlates of human behavior and cognition.
1) Design, implement and test novel brain-computer interface applications using non-invasive neural signal acquisition systems and neural signal processing algorithms.
2) Design and develop neuromimetic algorithms to support automated signal processing of sensor data. Acquire neuroimaging data from human subjects, design and implement data preprocessing and analysis routines, interpret data and determine conclusions that support sponsor hypothesis.
3) Work with sponsor organizations to communicate impact of research, develop concepts of operation with mission relevance, and plan for future transition of this technology to the field.
4) Write scientific manuscripts and whitepapers summarizing results for conferences and peer review journals.
Qualifications:
Required:
PhD in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent. Demonstrated ability in machine learning algorithm development for neural signal processing using Matlab and C/C++. Experience in designing and conducting non-invasive neural signal acquisition devices such as EEG, fMRI and fNIR. Demonstrated excellent and prolific written and oral communication skills; ability to articulate complex technical issues effectively and appropriately for the audience.
Desired:
Expertise in the design, development and implementation of image processing algorithms/systems. Experience working with animal models for neural signal acquisition and analysis. Experience with human subjects testing.
Organization Description:
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), located halfway between Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, DC, is a nonprofit Research and Development laboratory conducting advanced technical programs for the Navy; NASA; the Departments of Defense, Energy, and Transportation; the National Institutes of Health, and other Federal, state, and local agencies. The work includes projects in radar, communications and signal processing, missile guidance and control, submarine systems test and evaluation, space instrumentation and satellite systems, software engineering, and general systems analysis.
