Switzerland: PhD Scholarship in Non-Invasive BCI at EPFL
PhD Scholarship in Non-Invasive BCI at EPFL
EPFL, one of the two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (http://www.epfl.ch
), has immediate openings for four PhD students in the field of brain-
computer interaction (BCI) to work in the lab of Prof. José del R.
Millán (http://people.epfl.ch/jose.millan). Millán’s lab conducts
research on non-invasive BCI and neuroprosthetics. His lab is part of
the newly-launched Center for Neuroprosthetics (http://actualites.epfl.ch/presseinfo-com?id=661 newlang=eng
), which carries out research at the interface of neuroscience and
bioengineering in an environment of both theoretical and experimental
research, rich for the development of novel enabling technologies as
well as for seeking deeper understanding of fundamental mechanisms
underlying the field of neuroprosthetics.
The successful candidates will work in the framework of European and
Swiss projects related to the development of novel non-invasive BCI
for multimodal interaction. They will also investigate the underlying
machine learning and signal processing principles for robust
recognition of different cognitive processes.
The candidates should have a masters degree (or equivalent) in
computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or
related fields. She or he should have good background in statistical
machine learning, signal processing, EEG analysis, and/or human-
machine interaction, and/or intelligent/adaptive robotics. Excellent
programming skills are a must. Candidates must also have a good
command of spoken/written English language. The positions are
available immediately and will remain open until suitable candidates
are found. Starting date is February 1, 2009, or at the earliest
convenience afterwards.
Application: Interested candidates should send a short letter of
motivation, a detailed CV, and names of 3 references to Prof. José
del R. Millán (jose.millan AT epfl.ch).
