Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at University of Michigan Medical Center announces availability of a federally sponsored post-doctoral fellowship with the University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface (UM-DBI) project. Fellows interested in research work on electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain computer interfaces (BCIs) to operate assistive technology devices are encouraged to apply. The fellow will develop an independent project as well as participate in a comprehensive curriculum of didactic activities. The overall goal of this fellowship is to prepare trainees who have primary interest in pursuing academic careers.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to join our project to adapt, develop and test algorithms for BCIs operating under clinical instead of laboratory conditions. The UM-DBI project has interfaced BCI2000 with commercial assistive technology that accepts standardized inputs and will be extending functionality. Specific challenges include BCI operation during no-control periods when the user is engaged in activities other than active BCI use and improving interface response time for specific tasks.
Applicants should have completed all requirements for a Ph.D. and should be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter indicating future research plans, a CV, three letters of recommendation and a sample of academic work to Jane Huggins, Ph.D., Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Med Inn Building Room C640, 1500 E. Medical Center Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48109-5841G. Applicants must also apply online through the University of Michigan website at http://www.umich.edu/~jobs/ to complete the application process.
