Why this role matters
The Birznieks/Vickery group studies neural information encoding, tactile and auditory stimulus perception, and sensorimotor control of the hand related to object manipulation. We work primarily with human subjects and use electrophysiological techniques including microneurography (recordings from single sensory nerve fibres in humans), psychophysical methods, computational neuroscience methods, machine learning and modelling. Our studies utilise various haptic devices, and mechanical and electrical stimulators.
Key skills required:
- PhD or compatible skills in biomedical sciences or closely related area (which include engineering and computer science disciplines).
- Qualifications or demonstrated skills combining knowledge in biomedical engineering and sensory neuroscience will be considered as an advantage.
- Experience working with neurophysiological data, analysing neuronal activity and sensory information encoding in neurons.
- Experience in the field of tactile and haptics research, especially single afferent data analyses will be considered as an advantage.
- Programming experience (MATLAB).
- Some experience working with machine learning, multiple regression models and computer vision.
- Experience working with NI data acquisition cards and Arduino is an advantage.
- Experience in modelling mechanical properties of skin will be considered as an advantage.
