Research Fellow Full-time

Research Fellow

We are recruiting a postdoctoral research fellow to contribute to the development of combined heart-brain studies in experiments involving electroencephalography (EEG) and ECG Imaging (ECG-I). Experiments will be conducted in human subjects involving cardiac pacemakers and mapping cardiac-brain interactions.

The postdoctoral research fellow will have experience in signals processing with EEG and ECG signals, with particular expertise in the Heartbeat Evoked Potential (HEP). We have an ECG data analysis pipeline to utilize inverse solution mathematics to resolve conduction and repolarization metrics on the surface of the heart and examine the effects specific conditions on these metrics. The post will primarily involve experimental data analysis but optimization of data collection and protocol design will be required as well as some practical assistance during the EEG and ECG-I experiments.
