POSTDOCTORAL POSITION: REAL-TIME DECODING FOR BRAIN-MACHINE INTERFACES
A postdoctoral position is available in January, 2003 in the
laboratory of Dr Mark Laubach at the John B Pierce Laboratory, a
non-profit research institute affiliated with Yale University. The
position is part of a collaboration with Drs Jon Kaas and Troy Hackett
and their colleagues at Vanderbilt University and is supported by
DARPA.
This individual will develop novel methods for on-line analyses of
neuronal ensemble data (e.g., adaptive methods for spike sorting and
decoding analyses of spike and field potential data) using a cluster
of Linux workstations. In addition, putative neuronal codes in
auditory, prefrontal, and motor areas of the cerebral cortex will be
investigated using neuronal ensemble recording and microstimulation
methods in collaboration with neurophysiologists in our group.
The position requires expertise in methods for statistical pattern
recognition (e.g., random forest, SVMs), functional data analysis,
and scientific computing under Linux. Our lab makes heavy use of
Matlab, R, and Python, so knowledge of these tools is also necessary.
Interested individuals should submit a letter of application, CV,
copies of publications, and the names of three references to:
Mark Laubach, PhD
The John B. Pierce Laboratory Inc.
290 Congress Avenue
New Haven, CT 06519
Inquires: laubach@jbpierce.org
The review of applications will begin November 1, 2003, and will
continue until the position is filled.
