Turing Research Associate AI For Neurotechnology (Fixed-term)

University of Bath - Computer Science

Location: Bath
Salary: £37,099 to £44,263 Grade 7
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 27th September 2024
Closes: 16th October 2024
Job Ref: ED12092

About the role

The UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship Project led by Prof Damien Coyle at Bath aims to develop new AI approaches to address challenges associated with translating electrophysiological signals into control signals for brain-computer interface (BCI) based neurotechnology, and to trial these developments on a large scale with end-users.  

This project is seeking to appoint a Research Associate with understanding of neural signal processing and a passion for AI/machine learning to assist in advancing approaches to analysis, classification and decoding of high-resolution electroencephalography (EEG), to help advance neurotechnology for clinical applications. 

Prof Coyle and the Turing Fellowship research team are associated with the Bath Institute for the Augmented Human.

About the Turing AI Fellowship Project

Professor Coyle aims to develop AI technology that will play a crucial role in new forms of wearable neurotechnologies, devices which measure signals from the brain and enable their wearer to interact with technology without movement. 

Enabling movement-independent communication through this brain-computer interface could help those who are unable to communicate following a serious injury or illness. 

Wearable neurotechnologies and brain-computer interfaces have other applications in ambulatory brain monitoring, medical and neuroscience research, recreation, gaming (neurogaming) and sport, among others.

About the IAH

The IAH is the University’s newest research Institute and was established in 2023 as an innovative and agile leader in Human Augmentation R&D in the UK and Internationally. 

Our vision is a complete multidisciplinary training and innovation ecosystem that revolutionises the way that humans interface, interact, improve, and evolve with technology. 

The Institute is a unique body of interdisciplinary research focusing on research excellence and developing researchers that have the skills to develop, trial, regulate and deploy human augmentation technologies.

We’re setting ourselves an ambitious programme involving 60+ academics from an excellent mix of disciplines, from robotics, engineering and computer science to health, neuroscience, and psychology. 

Together, we’re establishing a world-leading research Institute, and we want you to be a part of it.

About you

You will have a PhD or equivalent experience and an undergraduate degree in a neurotechnology or related AI research, and be able to demonstrate depth and breadth of specialist knowledge of technologies including (for example deep-learning using platforms such as Keras, Pytorch or Tensor Flow, experience of optimising the performance of software for high performance computing on CPU and GPU clusters, and/or experience in VR/AR/games development for applications such as brain-computer interfacing). 

You should have experience of designing and delivering on research projects, and the ambition to publish in high quality, peer reviewed journals. 

You will be passionate about the future of technology and about being part of an institute that is targeting real world impact. 

This role will suit you if you:

  • Enjoy working in a collaborative, supportive and highly multidisciplinary environment;
  • Proficient in developing leading AI solutions including deep learning to address some of the major challenges associated with translating neural signal into control and communication channels in real-time to create robust wearable neurotechnology.
  • Are proficient in research using deep learning platforms and exploiting high performance computing.
