欧洲招聘网（http://job.ouzhou.cc）2023年9月招聘资讯：
Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to develop computer models of the brain in order to optimise epilepsy treatments such as surgery and stimulation, and develop new treatments such as chronotherapy.
By using real-world patient data from EEG, MRI, wearable sensors, etc. the student will process the data, develop advanced analytic tools, and perform computer simulations of the treatments. The goal is to ultimately use these computer models and software tools to contribute to clinical decision making in collaboration with our partners in the NHS & med tech industry.
The environment:
The student will work in the CNNP Lab (www.cnnp-lab.com) - a highly interdisciplinary environment with computer scientists, neurobiologists, mathematicians, and clinicians. The lab is well funded with recent epilepsy funding of >£3m, and over 20 current lab members working at the interface of computer science and neurology in a supportive, collaborate manner. The lab is based in the School of Computing at the Newcastle Helix site in Newcastle City Centre, with state-of-the-art facilities.
The applicant:
You will have excellent programming skills in a language such as Python, Matlab, or R, and a good knowledge of data analysis & statistics. Knowledge of any of the following are desirable: biomedical image/signal processing (e.g. EEG, ECG, MRI), feature selection, machine learning techniques, deep learning, state space models, dynamical systems.
