Employment: Temporary employment 2 years
Scope: Full time
Number of positions: 1
Closing date for application: 2024-09-15
Campus location: Västeras

Position description
The purpose of the position is to give the employee an early opportunity to develop his or her independence as a researcher and to create the conditions for further acquisitions of qualifications after completing the doctoral degree.The position is part of efforts to underpin the future supply of skills. The position is a temporary employment of maximum 3 years.
The research team in neuroengineering at MDU is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to work within the research project NeuroTrust, a multidisciplinary project focusing on reliable Brain-Computer Interfaces for rehabilitation after stroke.
Stroke affects around 25,000 people in Sweden every year and severe motor disabilities are common. Despite intensive rehabilitation, a large proportion live with permanent disabilities.
As a postdoc, you will work with data collected from the use of cutting-edge neurotechniques for stroke rehabilitation that can directly affect the brain's motor regions and promote the brain's ability to compensate for the stroke-damaged region. The research project is carried out in strong collaboration with Danderyd Hospital, and Karolinska Institutet with the main aim of providing stroke patients with a better quality of life by improving their motor recovery.
More specifically, the work involves multimodal data analysis of collected data from EEG, fMRI and clinical motor tests with focus on the interaction between these data. This will require close contact with collaborators which may involve a lot of travelling to Stockholm.
Qualifications requirements
The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in neuroscience, biomedical engineering or computer science with focus on data analysis, or similar. The applicant must have completed the degree no more than three years before the end of the application period. You have not previously held a position as a postdoctoral researcher in the same or related subject area at MDU that exceeds one year.
The candidate should be able to demonstrate research experience in the form of scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals. The candidate should also demonstrate research experience in processing/analyzing data from neurophysiological (e.g. EEG) and/or neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI) recordings..)
Assesment criteria
For the position the following is of high merit:
• knowledge of methods for data processing of EEG and fMRI data
• knowledge of statistical modeling of time series and discrete-time data
• knowledge in AI and machine learning
• good programming skills in MATLAB, Python, R, etc
• Scientific publications in high-impact international journals
In an overall assessment of suitability, emphasis is also placed on personal abilities. All employees at MDU are expected to cooperate and treat colleagues and students with respect, take responsibility for the organisation and their own work duties and contribute to a positive work environment. For this position we value personal characteristics such as collaboration skills, organizational skills, independence and communication skills.
We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organization.
