Reposting from an internal mailing list, several funded PhD positions, and 1 post doctoral fellowship available at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC:
- PHD POSITIONS
Several funded Ph.D. positions are available at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada), at the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology and the School of Engineering Science. Ph.D. candidates will focus on research in neurophysiology, such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), and machine learning to study clinical populations. Two Ph.D. projects will use clinical routine EEG recorded and evaluated in public hospitals in the process of neurological evaluation to predict patients’ clinical profiles. The other project will apply MEG to explore cortico-cerebellar brain networks in children with autism.*
PhD candidates are expected to get experience with digital signal processing, multivariate statistics, predictive analytics and data analysis with applications to bio-signals, and further develop scientific programing skills. The ideal start date is September 2022, but in general it is flexible. For more information, please contact Dr. Sam Doesburg, Dr. Teresa Cheung, and Dr. Vasily Vakorin: https://www.bcni-sfu.net . If you are interested, please send your cover letter and CV to vvakorin@sfu.ca .
