Colchester, Essex, United Kingdom University of Essex Full time
About the Role

We are seeking two Senior Research Officers to join our Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neural Engineering (BCI-NE) laboratory at the University of Essex. The successful candidates will work on a three-year fixed-term, full-time basis on the project 'Semantic brain to computer communication'.

Project Overview

This project proposes a radically new BCI based on semantic decoding: directly identifying whole concepts an individual is thinking of from a combination of analysis of brain activity and natural language modelling. The work will include running a series of experiments to record neural data while individuals focus on a series of individual concepts, as well as analysis work to develop decoding models and integration of natural language modelling with neural decoders.

Key Responsibilities
  • Running experiments to record neural data
  • Developing decoding models and integrating natural language modelling with neural decoders
  • Working with the project team to explore how neural engineering technology can be used to provide accurate, real-time, decoding of user intention
Requirements

The successful applicant will hold a PhD (or be very close to submitting their PhD thesis) in Biomedical Engineering, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Neural Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Neuroscience or a closely related discipline. They will also have evidence of a developing research agenda and a developing record of publications in internationally recognised, reputable journals.

What We Offer

The University of Essex offers a dynamic and supportive environment for research and academic excellence. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team and contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of brain-computer interfaces and neural engineering.
