The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), a national leader in scientific research and development, located midway between Baltimore and Washington, DC
is seeking a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Post Doctoral Associate.

Responsibilities:

Develop and work with neural signal acquisition hardware to acquire neural signals from human subjects. Implement neural signal processing and decoding algorithms for end effector control / signaling in brain-computer interface and neuroprosthetic applications. Design, implement and test novel brain-computer interface applications using non-invasive neural signal acquisition systems and neural signal processing algorithms. Support applied neuroscience initiatives by analyzing data and assisting with experimental design. Support neuroprosthetics initiatives through performance analysis and improvement of motor decoding and sensory encoding algorithms.
Work with University faculty and students on collaborative research projects.

Qualifications:
