Jobbeschreibung

We are seeking a talented and driven Postdoctoral Research Assistant to contribute to the design and implementation of novel engineering technologies for chronic pain. You will work on advanced brain-machine interfaces and non-invasive stimulation systems, integrating real-time behavioural and brain activity monitoring to deliver closed-loop interventions. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the establishment and optimisation of these experimental systems in compliance with regulatory requirements within the host group, collaborate across disciplines, and contribute to clinical translation efforts. You will work with Professor Tim Denison's Brain Engineering Lab at Oxford's Institute of Biomedical Engineering, collaborating with the Oxford Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging, MRC BNDU, and the Oxford Health NIHR BRC.

You will hold a PhD in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, or a related field, and have experience in the development of technological systems for real-time human data processing in interactive settings. Technical expertise in areas such as electrophysiological recording, VR paradigm design, closed-loop algorithm development, or clinical neuroscience is highly desirable. We are looking for someone with:

• Experience in real-time human data processing
• Advanced programming skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C)
• A collaborative mindset and excellent communication skills
• A commitment to high-quality research and innovation
