英国纽卡斯尔大学 招聘数名计算神经学博后研究助理
research assistant /associate in computational neurology (epilepsy)
newcastle university
we are a world class research-intensive university. we deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. we play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the north east of england. attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.
salary:
research assistant: £28,756 - £30,497 per annum
research associate: £31,406 - £40,927 per annum
closing date: 20 october 2021
the role
this is an exciting opportunity to join the school of computing as a research assistant/associate in computational neurology project entitled: "assessing and controlling seizure-modulating fluctuations (acorn)".
in focal epilepsy, seizure symptoms and severity fluctuate from one seizure to the next in the same patient. however, epilepsy treatments are static, and currently do not stop seizures in a third of patients. the aim of acorn is to develop time-adaptive therapies for epilepsy.
you will investigate within-patient fluctuations of seizure symptoms and severity over days, weeks and months to reveal underlying seizure drivers. you will quantify seizure variability in a variety of context and sensors including for example, electrographic data from the epilepsy monitoring unit and long-term monitoring, neuroimaging data, short and long-term wearable sensor data, and environmental sensor data.
you will extend existing analysis techniques and develop new analytical approaches to the multitude of data from and around patients with epilepsy. your goal is to capture subject-specific modulations that drive changes in seizure symptoms and severity.
experience required
you will have substantial experience in processing eeg data, and ideally some experience in analysing wearable sensors or environmental sensors
you will have experience of at least one of the following analysis techniques (multiple preferred): multivariate signal decomposition techniques, dimensionality reduction techniques, machine learning/ai, dynamic model inference (e.g. hmm, state space modelling), dynamical systems theory
you will join the cnnp lab which is well supported with recent epilepsy funding of over £2.6m. the lab currently has expertise across a range of techniques and access to data from over 300 individuals with epilepsy. the lab is based in the school of computing at the newcastle helix site in newcastle city centre with state of the art facilities. extensive support and mentoring is available to all team members, and a generous budget for travel and computing equipment will be provided.
we are committed to building and maintaining a fair and inclusive working environment.
we appoint on merit and particularly welcome applications from groups that are currently underrepresented in computing such as individuals who legally identify as female, lgbtq+, and black, asian and minority ethnic (bame) colleagues.
the post is available immediately and is offered on a full-time, fixed term basis for 24 months from date of appointment, with possibility for extension. we would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working.
informal enquiries can be made in confidence to dr yujiang wang (yujiang.wang@ncl.ac.uk).
