Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering.
Post-doctoral Research Fellow – Computational Modelling of Adaptive Deep brain Stimulation (DBS)
Applications are invited for a 2 year post-doctoral position with the Neuromuscular Systems Research Lab at University College Dublin. The project represents an exciting opportunity to work on a multidisciplinary research project funded by Science Foundation Ireland.
This project aims to develop a multiscale model of the neuromuscular system to design and test closed-loop control strategies for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease.
A highly motivated post-doctoral research fellow is sought to design multivariable control policies for closed-loop control of DBS in Parkinsons’ disease. This work will form part of a wider multidisciplinary project incorporating clincal and preclinical studies. The project would suit candidates with expertise in neuromodulation, computational neuroscience, control theory and/or physiology of the corticospinal and basal ganglia systems.
Salary: €44,847 - €47,412 per annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 10th of December 2024.
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.
UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV's submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
The PD1 position is intended for early stage researchers, either just after completion of a PhD or for someone entering a new area for the first time. If you have already completed your PD1 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD1, or you are an external applicant whose total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 4 years, you should not apply and should refer to PD2 posts instead.
