Applicants are invited to apply for a postdoctoral associate position in signal processing at Technical University of Denmark, Denmark. Potential candidates should apply before February 15, 2019.

A 2-year postdoctoral research position is available with the Digital Health group at the Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) on "Brain Computer Interface (BCI) Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) as a Complete Neurorehabilitation Tool for Post-Stroke Patients". The main focus of the project will be to design and investigate the competency of BCI controlled FES as a neurofeedback mechanism in enhancing the rehabilitation process to regain optimal motor function of the fingers of stroke patients left with hand paresis/paralysis.
In this project, a BCI controlled FES system is proposed as a complete neuro-rehabilitation tool for post-stroke patients to regain fine motor skills in the fingers so that the hand gripping function can be triggered. An inexpensive portable neuro-rehabilitating training system is envisioned which can potentially cause neural plasticity and improvement in the motor skills. The method will be based on controlling a FES device attached on the affected arm, using the EEGs of the patients.
All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
