[Imageworld] Research Assistantship in EEG-based Noninvasive Brain Computer Interface Design

[Deniz Erdogmus]

Research Assistantship and PhD in ECE with a focus on
EEG-based Noninvasive Brain Computer Interface Design
at Northeastern University, Boston, MA, USA


** Please forward to highly qualified students who may be interested **

Individuals with excellent background and credentials who are interested 
in pursuing a PhD in statistical signal processing and machine learning 
towards the design of a noninvasive brain computer interface (BCI) in a
5-year translational research project funded by NIH are invited to apply
for a graduate research assistant position under the supervision of 
Deniz Erdogmus in the Department of ECE at Northeastern University (NU).

Qualifications required for this position include: a solid understanding
of statistical modeling and inference, signal processing, machine 
learning, and pattern recognition; a strong background in relevant fields 
such as linear algebra, optimization, probability theory; a strong 
background in Matlab and C++, as well as experience with real-time data 
acquisition and signal processing. Candidates with prior research 
experience, preferrably in a relevant topic, evidenced by an MS thesis 
and publications in high quality international journals and conferences 
will be given higher consideration.

This project is in collaboration with researchers at the Oregon Health 
and Science University, Portland, OR. Funding for this RA position is
available for up to 5 years starting immediately and continued funding
will depend on satisfactory performance of the RA and the availability of
continued funding by NIH. The stipend is competitive.

Northeastern University is located in Boston, MA and is in close proximity
to many outstanding academic and cultural activities, and other major 
cities and outdoor activities in New England are easily accessible. To

To apply, please send the following materials to Deniz Erdogmus by email 
in a single(!) pdf at 'erdogmus at ece.neu.edu':
	Academic CV
	Statement of purpose
	Transcript showing all courses and grades and GPA
	Descriptions of relevant graduate courses
	Copies of papers, reports...

The starting date of this appointment can be as soon as possible 
(provided all necessary paperwork is completed) but September 2009 when 
the Fall semester starts at NU is most likely. We will start considering 
applications after March 1st, 2009 until the position is filled.
