Os dejo una oferta de trabajo que tenemos abierta en
BitBrain. Es para realizar una tesis doctoral en el marco de un proyecto EU.
Como condición necesaria de la EU, los candidatos no deben haber residido,
trabajado o estudiado en España durante más de 12 meses en los 3 años
anteriores a Septiembre de 2012 (el objetivo de este tipo de iniciativas es
potenciar la movilidad de investigadores por Europa). Si encajas en el perfil o
conoces a alguien que pueda encajar...
¡ya sabes! :)
Early Stage
Researcher (PhD fellowship)
Brain
Machine Interfaces for Motor Neurorehabilitation via Robotics
From €
35.000 per annum (3 years)
Applications
are invited for the above post to work with Prof. Javier Minguez on a Marie
Curie Initial Training Network funded project in Neural Engineering to underpin
work at BitBrain Technologies (spin-off company of the University of Zaragoza)
on the Brain Machine Interfaces for Motor Neurorehabilitation using Robotics.
The successful candidate will register for a 3 year PhD in the Biomedical
Engineering School of the University of Zaragoza.
This is an
exciting opportunity to contribute to a joint venture between a Neurotechnology
company and the Biomedical Engineering School, on an EU funded project in
Neural Engineering with a focus on Neurorehabilitation using Robotic systems.
BitBrain Technologies is a pioneer company in Neurotechnology bringing the
latest results on Neural engineering to the society. The PhD candidate will
carry out research in the context of neurorehabilitation for stroke patients, where
one of the key points is to use the neural interfaces to monitor and control
the rehabilitation process. In this direction, the objective will be the
development of signal processing and machine learning techniques able to detect
in real-time neural processes related to the motor tasks such as those
preceding movement or during the intention of movement. Applications are
encouraged from highly numerate students with B.Sc or M.Sc. degree in
biomedical/electrical/computer engineering.
The
fellowship includes a three-month secondment in the second year working with
either Dr Simon Schultz in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College
London, UK, with Dr Bert Kappen in the Department of Medical Physics and
Biophysics at Stichting Katholieke Universiteit, Nijmegen, Netherlands or with
Dr Wolfram Erlhagen in the Department of Mathematics and Applications at
Universidade do Minho, Portugal. Candidates must be therefore be able to move
between countries as necessary.
Candidates
must be in the first 4 years of their research careers and not been awarded a
doctorate degree. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in
biomedical-neural engineering or computational neuroscience. As part of our
commitment to promoting diversity we encourage applications from women. To
comply with the Marie Curie Actions rule for mobility, applicants must not have
resided, worked, or studied in Spain for more than 12 months in the 3 years
prior to Sept 2012.
This
full-time post is available from the 3rd of September 2012 with a fixed-term
contract for a period of 36 months. Please visit
http://www.empleo.gob.es/en/index.htm for more information on Spanish national
regulations.
Informal
enquiries may be addressed to Prof. Javier Minguez (jminguez@unizar.es). Please
note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be
accepted. For information about the Biomedical Engineering School see http://i3a.unizar.es/postgrado/index_master_EN.php,which is one of the most
active in Spain.
Applications
will be sent to hr@bitbrain.es before the July 8th. Please indicate clearly in
your application the reference number for this fellowship – ESR016.
