The Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence has an opening for a position in
Biosignal processing
This position will be open starting Sep. 1, 2004 and will be limited to 2 years. Work will be done as part of the EU-commission funded project SENSATION (Advanced Sensor Development for Attention, Stress, Vigilance & Sleep/Wakefulness Monitoring, www.sensation-eu.org). In this project, work will focus on building novel models of a person's sleep-wake cycle based on biosignal data like EEG, EOG or EMG. This will be done based on probabilistic models of pattern recognition, clustering and modeling, exploiting methods such as hidden Markov models, Gaussian mixtures and the like.
Required background
- know-how in signal processing (e.g. EEG)
- academic degree in computer science or engineering (with focus on signal processing) or equivalent degree
- motivation for and interest in application-oriented research
- basic programming skills (in particular, Matlab)
- proficiency in English
Desired background
- background in probabilistic pattern recognition methods
- research experience
- publications related to the field
- basic understanding of German (minor requirement)
A Ph.D. degree is not required but will be preferred.
