University College London is offering research associate electronic engineer position at Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory (BORL) based within the UCL Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering. The position funded by EPSRC is offered for the period of two years with a salary of £32,375 – £39,132 per annum. Applicants applying for the position should have PhD in electronic engineering is highly desirable, although exceptional candidates without a PhD will also be considered where sufficient skills and experience can be demonstrated. The purpose of this post is to play a major role in the development and evaluation of this novel multimodal imaging system.
Study Subject(s): Funding is awarded to develop a novel brain imaging system with combined optical topography and electroencephalography (EEG) capabilities. The system will be both wearable and wireless, and used to monitor cerebral oxygenation, haemodynamics and metabolism in a wide range of applications including acute brain injury and brain computer interfacing. UCL is seeking an electronic engineer to join their team – to help design, build and test the new instrument in both the laboratory and the clinic.
Course Level: This position is available for pursuing Research programme.
Scholarship Provider: EPSRC
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility:- A PhD in electronic engineering is highly desirable, although exceptional candidates without a PhD will also be considered where sufficient skills and experience can be demonstrated. Candidates from an industrial background with no academic research experience are also encouraged to apply. No prior knowledge of optical imaging is necessary, but good electronic engineering skills and experience are essential.
Scholarship Open for International Students: The UK students can apply for the scholarship.
Scholarship Description: The Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory (BORL) based within the UCL Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering is an internationally recognised, multidisciplinary group developing novel optical methods for monitoring and imaging the healthy and injured brain. We have recently been awarded funding from the EPRSC to develop a novel brain imaging system with combined optical topography and electroencephalography (EEG) capabilities. The system will be both wearable and wireless, and used to monitor cerebral oxygenation, haemodynamics and metabolism in a wide range of applications including acute brain injury and brain computer interfacing. The purpose of this post is to play a major role in the development and evaluation of this novel multimodal imaging system. UCL is seeking an electronic engineer to join their team – to help design, build and test the new instrument in both the laboratory and the clinic. Clinical collaborators include the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, (UCLH), and the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in Putney.
