Senior EEG AI Research Scientist (Pain Analytics)

University of Essex; Colchester; Presencial; GBP 35 000 - 43 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

University of Essex in Colchester is seeking a researcher to advance computational analysis for the PaiNeuro project, developing machine-learning methods to separate pain-related and pain-free states in clinical EEG. You will implement reproducible preprocessing and modeling on held-out data, and contribute to publications and open-source software.

The role requires a PhD in a related field, strong Python/ML skills, and experience with EEG data.

Qualificações

• PhD in computer science, electronic engineering, biomedical engineering, neuroscience, machine learning or a closely related discipline.
• Strong Python programming and ML library experience.
• Experience applying ML, including deep learning, to EEG or high-dimensional biosignals.
• Robust model evaluation including participant-level cross-validation and independent testing.
• Ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary team.
• Strong academic writing and spoken communication skills.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and maintain reproducible EEG preprocessing, artefact-handling and feature-extraction workflows.
• Implement and compare deep-learning approaches for EEG-based pain prediction with spatial and temporal architectures.
• Develop Riemannian geometry-based methods using EEG covariance representations.
• Investigate cross-participant generalisation, including transfer learning and domain alignment.
• Validate models using held-out participant data and report performance with suitable metrics.
• Contribute to publications, open-source software, data documentation and public data/code releases.
• Collaborate with the PI and clinical collaborators in Norway, attending interdisciplinary meetings.
