Neural engineering Post-Doc​

Are you a dynamic and ambitious researcher with a passion for unraveling the mysteries of the brain? The Analytical Neurophysiology Lab (Anphy Lab) at Duke University invites applications for an engineering / computational neuroscience postdoctoral position, offering a unique chance to delve into cutting-edge projects at the intersection of epilepsy, sleep, neuroscience, and data analytics. Here, you will have an opportunity to immerse yourself in projects encompassing multimodal data (high-density/intracranial EEG, imaging: MRI/DTI), advanced analyses, and innovative neuroimaging implementations.

Main focus:

Your initial challenge will involve contributing to the development of an automated system to optimize the treatment of new epilepsy surgery patients. This exciting project combines data analysis with multimodal epilepsy data, integrating natural language processing, machine learning techniques, and statistics.

Requirements:​

• Ph.D. (preferably in engineering or computational neuroscience) with <3 years of post-PhD experience
• Experience with epilepsy data (EEG) and proficiency in MATLAB/Python mandatory
• Expertise in signal processing, image processing (MRI/DTI), machine learning/deep learning/NLP (desirable)
• Leadership and organizational skills, mentorship abilities, and a collaborative spirit
• Excellent writing skills and a demonstrated publication record
• Familiarity with Brainstorm, MNE Python, or Freesurfer (desirable)
• Commitment to at least a 2-year term

What we offer:

• A multicultural, multi-expertise, and dynamic environment
• Opportunity to be involved in multiple ongoing projects and to lead their own independent projects
• Guidance and support for grant applications fostering future independence
• Collaboration opportunities within our large international and national network of collaborators (e.g. 5-SENSE consortium, sleep iEEG atlas consortium)
• Competitive facilities and remuneration (following NIH guidelines), with an additional yearly allowance to attend one international/national conference
