To whom it may concern:
We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, in the Department of Engineering Science (Headington). The post is funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and is initially fixed-term for 2 years, with the possibility of extension.
As part of a team developing novel technology and algorithms for monitoring brain activity, sleep and circadian patterns of patients with RBD and Parkinson’s in home settings, you will be responsible for designing a system for a user-friendly behind the ear sleep sensor with integrated analytics for long-term monitoring of electrical biomarkers, sleep and circadian rhythms at home. This work is undertaken as part of a collaboration with the neurology Department of the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
You will have a PhD (or near completion) in a relevant computer science, engineering, maths or technology subject and will possess expertise in neuroscience, information engineering, signal processing, or a cognate discipline. You will have experience of working in a highly interdisciplinary team.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Maarten De Vos (maarte...@eng.ox.ac.uk).
You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, including a brief statement of research interests (describing how past experience and future plans fit with the advertised position), CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
Only applications received online before 12.00 noon on 16 August 2017 can be considered. The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
