Job Description
Responsibilities*
The successful candidate would work on multiple projects all related to modeling the function of the human auditory system. Responses to both natural stimuli (like speech and music) and synthetic diagnostic stimuli will be modeled. In addition to using existing datasets, the project will also entail the scheduling and collection of electroencephalography (EEG) data from human subjects. The applicant will be responsible for the designing, training, and testing models and disseminating the findings in journals and scientific conferences. A second goal is working towards several novel applications of the models once they are created. Often new techniques will need to be developed. Additional duties include assistance with regulatory compliance, mentoring of junior trainees, maintenance and sometimes fabrication of lab equipment, and other general tasks that come with part of being in an active research lab.
Required Qualifications*
Ph.D. in biomedical engineering or related field.
Strong knowledge of signal processing.
Extensive experience designing, training, evaluating, and publishing deep neural network models.
Strong scientific writing skills.
Strong programming skills in python, MATLAB, or other scientific computing language.

Desired Qualifications*
Experience with electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and/or electrocorticography.

Experience performing experiments with human subjects.
Experience with soldering or other skills related to equipment maintenance.
