15/11/2024

 

Job Description

We are looking for a predoctoral researcher to join an ERC Star`ng Grant project, in which we inves`gate the ac`vity of neuronal popula`ons extracted from muscle recordings. The posi`on will focus on developing new methods for analyzing neural dynamics
and studying brain-muscle interac`ons based on deep learning techniques. The ul`mate goal of the project is to develop new diagnos`c methods for neurological disorders.

 

Project

Starting Grant ECHOES 101077693 funded by the ERC.

 

Profile

  • Graduate with an interest in pursuing a doctoral thesis. 
  • Experienced in developing methods for analyzing time series with a large number of dimensions and high temporal
    sampling rates. 
  • Interested in analyzing neural signals in healthy subjects and patients with motor disorders. 
  • Ideally, the candidate will have experience with programming languages such as Python, Matlab, or Julia. 
  • A master's degree or a bachelor's degree in electronics, computer science, telecommunications, or biomedical engineering is desirable.

 

Neural Interfaces Laboratory at the BSICoS group, University of Zaragoza

BSICoS is a research group at the University of Zaragoza affiliated with the Aragon Institute of Engineering Research (I3A), the Aragon Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón), and the Biomedical Research Networking Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials, and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN). Our group aims to maximize the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) in
healthcare applications through the development of physiology-guided biomedical signal processing methods. Within BSICoS, the Neural Interfaces Laboratory conducts both basic and translational research. Our laboratory seeks to develop new techniques to study the characteristics of communication between the central nervous system and muscles.

BSICoS offers a multidisciplinary and dynamic environment where new members can engage in various academic and social activities. We are committed to training new researchers and providing them with the tools and resources needed for a successful professional future.
