Research Assistant/Associate in Closed-loop Stimulation

We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.

The Role
The full job title is Research Assistant/Associate in Closed-loop Neural Interface Technology combined with Auditory Stimulation and Electrophysiology.

We at Newcastle University, in collaboration with the Bioelectronics team at the Imperial College of London, are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and skilled Research Assistant/Research Associate. This part-time position will be a pivotal role in a pioneering project focused on advancing closed-loop neural interface technology using auditory stimulation on free-moving nonhuman primates. You will collaborate closely with the supervisory team at Newcastle University (Dr Yuki Kikuchi, Prof Andy Jackson) and the Bioelectronics team at the Imperial College of London (Prof Tim Constandinou).

The work will focus on the developing cutting-edge neural interface technology using electrophysiological and acoustical signals. You should have experience working in research settings and expertise in bioengineering, electrical and electronic engineering, acoustical engineering, neuroscience, electrophysiology, computational science or a closely related field.

This part-time post is offered on a fixed-term basis until 30.04.2025.
