Post-doc - Computational Visual Neuroscience

Mission

The research focus of this postdoc is centered on advancing the development of a novel neuroadaptive training platform for patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Research will focus on:

  • Developping new computational modelling frameworks for rapidly time-varying functional networks in late sensory and non-sensory cortex
  • Developping a closed-loop platform for biofeedback-influenced video-viewing

We seek outstanding candidates working in cognitive neuroscience, systems engineering, physics, machine learning or data-science with interests in broadly advancing the treatment of neurological disorders. 

Main duties and responsibilities

  • Working and collaborating on research projects. The precise research topic(s) will be discussed with the successful candidate depending on their background, expertise and affinities.
  • Analysis and publication of results
  • Build a strong network in the field of research
  • Participate in education, and PhD and master student supervision
  • Collaboration with an industrial partner in the healthcare technology/ AI field. 

Profile

  • PhD (or nearing completion of) in systems, computational, or cognitive neuroscience
  • Background in visual neuroscience and advanced signal processing
  • Research experience in M/EEG 
  • Strong computational and analytical skills.
  • Experimental skills and experience in analyzing neuroimaging data
  • Publication record (relative to your career stage) in internationally leading journals
  • Independent, creative, and solution-oriented
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
  • Strong motivation to explore new research domains
  • Good team spirit
  • Strong quantitative, signal processing and machine learning skills
