Students and Postdoctoral Fellows
Postgraduate, Graduate and Undergraduate Training
The Center provides transdisciplinary training across engineering, neuroscience
and rehabilitation medicine to postdoctoral fellows and clinical residents.
Students from the Departments of Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Kinesiology,
Mathematics and Statistics and the School of Life Sciences (Neuroscience) can
officially pursue their doctoral and Master's degrees under the mentorship
of Center faculty. Graduate students should contact the appropriate Center
faculty to inquire about available research assistantships.
Undergraduate students should direct inquiries to Professor Abbas (james.abbas@asu.edu)

Post-doctoral
Positions open
Postdoctoral Position: Computational Neuroscience and Neuroinformatics: NeuroML Standards and Tools for Multiscale Model Specification and Exchange (pdf)
Computational models based on detailed neuroanatomical and electrophysiological data have been used for many years as an aid for understanding of the function of the nervous system. NeuroML is an international, collaborative initiative to develop standards for describing models of neural systems. The NeuroML model specifications facilitate the exchange of complex neural models, allow for greater transparency and accessibility of models, enhance interoperability between simulators and other tools, and support the development of new software and databases. NeuroML is a free and open community effort developed with input from many contributors. For an outline of current efforts, see the roadmap.
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to further development of NeuroML. The position is somewhat flexible and can include NeuroML schema design and implementation, tool development and testing, website development and maintenance, and model database design and implementation. The position also provides opportunities for involvement in computational modeling studies. The postdoc will be located in the computational laboratory of Dr. Sharon Crook (http://math.asu.edu/~crook) at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona (http://www.asu.edu). Prior extensive programming experience is required, and experience with XML, website and database development, and computational neuroscience research would be beneficial. The candidate also must be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team. Some international travel is required.
Locally, the postdoctoral researcher will interact with faculty, students and other postdoctoral researchers in the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems (http://ans.asu.edu) at ASU. ASU has vibrant, interdisciplinary research communities in neuroscience, biomedical informatics, and high-performance computing.
Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a short summary of research experience and interests, and the contact information (name, address, phone number and email) for three references to: Dr. Sharon Crook at sharon.crook@asu.edu.
Postdoctoral Position: Sensorimotor Integration in Advanced Prosthetic Systems [CLOSED]
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. James Abbas in the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems (http://www.ans.asu.edu), School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. The position is supported by an NIH-funded Bioengineering Research Partnership grant for a project to interface prosthetic hands with amputees through a direct peripheral nerve interface for providing sensory feedback. The collaborative effort includes biomedical and electrical engineers from academia, clinicians and industrial partners.
The postdoctoral fellow will focus on experimental evaluation of sensory perception and sensorimotor performance using this novel prosthetic system. This work will require experimental design, software development and extensive analysis of data from sensory and sensorimotor experiments.
Prior experience in neural stimulation research, somatosensory perception and neural control of manipulation is highly desirable. Expertise in programming in Python or Matlab, and experience in statistical analysis of neuromotor data sets are also highly desirable. Familiarity with regulatory requirements for human subject medical device development would be beneficial. The candidate also must be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.
The postdoctoral researcher will interact with faculty, students and other postdoctoral researchers in the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems (http://ans.asu.edu) at ASU. ASU has vibrant, interdisciplinary research communities in neuromotor control, neuroengineering, prostheses, neuroinformatics, high-performance computing, neuroscience, and kinesiology.
Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a summary of research experience and interests, and the contact information (name, address, phone number and email) for three references to: Dr. James Abbas at james.abbas@asu.edu

Postdoctoral Position: Neural Interface for Sensory-Enabled Prostheses [CLOSED]
A postdoctoral position is available in the engineering laboratory of Dr. Ranu Jung in the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems (http://www.ans.asu.edu), School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. The position is supported by an NIH-funded Bioengineering Research Partnership grant for a project to interface prosthetic hands with amputees through a direct peripheral nerve interface for providing sensory feedback. The collaborative effort includes biomedical and electrical engineers from academia, clinicians and industrial partners.
The postdoctoral fellow will participate in the system integration of the implanted device and the prosthetic hand. This will require software development and implementation design and development of electronic and mechanical interfaces, rigorous testing and verification.
Prior experience in neural engineering research and neurotechnology development or related experience is necessary. Experience with programming in Python and Matlab, CAD design, and Electronic Circuit design and development are highly desirable. Familiarity with regulatory requirements for human subject medical device development would be beneficial. The candidate also must be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.
