Position Description
The BSICoS research group at the University of Zaragoza seeks a highly motivated predoctoral researcher to join the Starting Grant project ECHOES 101077693, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The project focuses on investigating neuronal population activity extracted from high-density electromyographic recordings. The candidate will work on developing and implementing deep learning algorithms to characterize distinct neuronal subspaces related to physiological and pathological states of the central nervous system.
Candidate profile
Essential requirements:
• Master's degree or bachelor's degree in electronics, computer science, telecommunications, biomedical engineering, physics, mathematics, or related fields.
• Experience in developing methods for analyzing multidimensional time series with high sampling rates.
• Knowledge of machine learning and deep learning techniques.
• Proficiency in programming languages, preferably Python, MATLAB, or Julia.
• High level of motivation, capacity for autonomous work, and proactive profile.
• Communicative competence in scientific English (reading, writing, and presentations)
Highly valued:
• Previous experience in neurophysiological or biomedical signal processing.
• Knowledge of computational neuroscience or neurophysiology.
• Previous publications in scientific journals or conferences.
Neural Interfaces Laboratory at the BSICoS Group, University of Zaragoza
BSICoS is a research group at the University of Zaragoza that is part of 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). Within BSICoS, the Neural Interfaces 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 participate in multiple academic and social activities.
