Post Doctoral Research Fellow

2 months ago

Boston, United States InsideHigherEd Full time
Description

The primary objective of this role is to develop innovative computational approaches that advance our understanding of brain dysfunction in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease. The data we work with include speech acoustic and kinematic recordings, EMG, EEG, neuropsychological assessments, clinical and neurobiological data, and neuroimaging. The postdoc will contribute to various aspects of data collection and identify and adapt cutting-edge machine learning techniques to encode and classify subtle, yet potentially clinically significant, patterns in neural and speech time-series recorded from multiple anatomical locations. Additionally, the postdoc will apply expertise in machine learning and signal processing to design new analytical streams and oversee other research staff in the application of these software tools. As the lead of the data collection team, the postdoc will ensure the effective use of advanced technologies for recording brain activity and speech motor output. Finally, the postdoc will drive the effort to prepare results for publication.

DUTIES/ RESPONSIBILITIES

  • 30%: Develop advanced methods for integrating different data modalities (acoustic, kinematic, EMG, EEG, neuroimaging, and FlexNIRS) using machine learning. The postdoc must be proficient in working with neuroimaging datasets, including all necessary preparatory stages to ensure data quality, in order to complete innovative analyses and prepare manuscripts for publication.
  • 30%: Develop signal processing methods for feature extraction, characterizing, and linking neuroimaging data with speech acoustic and kinematic signals.
  • 20%: Lead the simultaneous collection of speech and neuroimaging recordings from older adult participants, ensuring skillful deployment and use of equipment while effectively communicating with both study participants and the research team.
  • 10%: Prepare and preprocess data for research assistants and study staff.
  • 10%: Contribute preliminary data to grant applications.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Will train/mentor and indirectly supervise 1 FTEs.


Qualifications

EDUCATION

  • Holding a Ph.D. in engineering, neuroscience, computer science, speech and language sciences, computational linguistics, or a related field by the start date
  • Strong programming skills in scripting language including MATLAB, Python, R, or a similar environment
  • Experienced with Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Data Science
  • Strong communication and research writing skills
  • Experience with data visualization and statistical modeling/analysis
  • Record of scholarship as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and/or conference presentations

SKILLS / ABILITIES

Excellent computational and scientific writing skills.Proficiency in MATLAB or Python.Proficiency in distributed computing.The ability to communicate effectively in the workplace.Enthusiasm and ability to solve technical and computational problems.Excellent organizational skills.A team player.

WORKING CONDITIONS

  • Computational work will be conducted in an office environment, using a laptop and/or a Linux workstation.
  • The data collection will take place either in a sound attenuated/shielded room or in a bay for magnetic resonance imaging.

TRAINING

We expect that the postdoc will join our lab with the computational skills required to deliver scientific contributions. Nonetheless, learning about the data specifics and the neuroimaging processing software is expected to take up to 2 months. Learning to operate the MRI scanner, EEG equipment, and speech recording equipment will take 4 months.
