JOIN OUR TEAM

Postdoctoral Research Associates

As part of our ongoing clinical trials of an intracortically implanted neural interface system, we seek enthusiastic individuals with expertise in computational and systems neuroscience, intracortical neurophysiology, machine learning, or neuroengineering to join our internationally recognized research team. Our work focuses on advancing state-of-the-art neural signal processing, encoding models and decoding approaches for brain-computer interfaces to restore communication and functional independence for people with paralysis. We also conduct fundamental human neuroscience research in movement control, cognition, and attention. As a highly multidisciplinary endeavor, our team includes a tight-knit collaborative group of neuroscientists, engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and clinicians with collaboration across Massachusetts General Hospital, Brown University, the VA Providence Healthcare System, Stanford University, Emory University, and University of California, Davis.

Postdoctoral research in speech decoding and neuroprosthetics – MGH, Brown University

This position will have a strong focus on developing advanced encoding and decoding models of human cortical activity related to speech and language. Fellows will join the rich research community at the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, working in close collaboration with colleagues at Brown University and the entire BrainGate research consortium.

Postdoctoral research in machine learning for BCI communication and neuroprosthetics – Brown University, MGH

Areas of research include, but are not limited to, harnessing intracortical signals for the development of communication interfaces for persons who are locked-in, developing new real-time decoding strategies for computer and device interaction, and developing models and interfaces for converting cortical neuronal activity into the real-time movement of multi-articulated prosthetic limbs or robotic devices. Fellows will join the BrainGate research team at Brown University in close collaboration with colleagues at MGH, the Providence VA Medical Center, and other consortium research groups.

Postdoctoral research in soft robotics and neuroprosthetics – Brown University, MGH

This position will have a strong focus on developing and refining machine learning approaches to enable multidimensional neural control of wearable soft robotics including glove, elbow and shoulder prostheses. Fellows will join the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery at Massachusetts General Hospital working in close collaboration with the soft robotics research group of Dr. Conor Walsh at Harvard and with colleagues at Brown University and the BrainGate research consortium.
