Pre/Postdoctoral position in Neurosciences at the University of Granada (Spain)

We are looking for a predoc or a postdoctoral researcher to work in the research project “Clinical Applications of Neuroscience: Locating Language Areas in Epileptic Patients and Restoring Speech in Paralyzed People” (B.SEJ.570.UGR20), funded by our regional government in Andalusia (Spain).

The project has two objectives. Firstly, we aim at localizing the brain areas involved in language processing from intracranial EEG data, with the clinical aim of preserving these regions during the resection of brain tissue in epileptic patients. Secondly, the project also aims to decode speech from the intracranial EEG data using state-of-the-art deep learning techniques.

We are seeking to appoint a skilled engineer with background on either Computer Science or Telecommunications/Electronic Engineering and interests in Cognitive Neuroscience or, alternatively, a Psychologist with good programming skills (in Python and/or Matlab). The candidate tasks will involve setting up experiments with standard experimental software, recruiting participants, running experiments, data preparation and analysis.

The student will be integrated in a multidisciplinary team formed by psychologies, engineers, and medical doctors.

The duration of the contract is initially for 18 months, starting from January 2022. Full time salary is in the range 26,000€ to 42,000€, depending on the candidate’s qualifications.
