Post-doc or Biomedical Data Scientist for EEG data analysis (1.0 FTE) (219198)
Organisation
The University of Groningen is a research university with a global outlook, deeply rooted in Groningen, City of Talent. Quality has been our top priority for over four hundred years, and with success: the University is currently in or around the top 100 on several influential ranking lists.
The Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) is the largest faculty within the University. We offer exclusive education and research in a wide range of science and engineering disciplines, from classical disciplines such as mathematics, astronomy and mechanical engineering, to interdisciplinary fields such as artificial intelligence, pharmacy and nanoscience. Our community has an open and informal character with students and staff from around the world. Do you want to become part of it?
Research environment
Research will be performed in the Neurobiology group at the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences (GELIFES), which comprises several other strong, internationally recognized research groups in the field of evolutionary biology and behavioral neuroscience. In addition, the research will be performed as part of a large European project, allowing for active teamworks. The post-doc position is embedded in a large international project funded by a creative Medicine Initiative (IMI) grant from the European Union. You will work in collaboration with project partners from 48 national and international academic and industrial organizations.
Job description
As part of this larger international consortium, we seek to understand the role of early life sensory cortex development and sensory processing deficits in autism spectrum disorders using mouse studies. You will develop, implement, and apply an EEG data analysis pipeline for various EEG recoding platforms. This data pipeline will further guide the research to study the relationship between early life sensory cortex development, sensory information processing, and behavior using molecular, genetic and integrated sensory evoked EEG and behavioral analyses in mice.
Qualifications
• you have a PhD degree in biology, mathematics or biomedical science, with important experience in the areas of EEG experimentation and analyses
• you have programming skills to develop and implement an EEG data analysis pipeline for multi-channel signals, specifically for ERP analysis, power spectral analysis and statistical analysis of neural time series data
• you have experience with complex data analyses methods using tools like R, Matlab and/or the Python data science stack
• you preferable have experience with rodent EEG surgical techniques and data acquisition
• you have a good command of English (oral and written)
• you have excellent interpersonal skills (indicated by the ability to write scientific papers and deliver presentations).
