Post-doc position on brain-computer interfaces, Opportunity at Institute of New Imaging Technologies, Spain.

Job Overview

Post-doc position on brain-computer interfaces

We are seeking a postdoc candidate to work on the CHIST-ERA project “Brainsourcing for Affective Attention Estimation” (BANANA). The project aims at leveraging crowdsourcing brain signals to estimate visual attention and affective responses to visual stimuli. BANANA is an interdisciplinary and coordinated effort with university partners in Luxembourg (coordinator), Finland, Poland, and Spain (us).

Basic facts

• Location: Institute of New Imaging Technologies (INIT), Universitat Jaume I, Castelló, Spain.
• Duration: ~3 years starting in early 2022
• Salary: around 33,000 € gross annual (competitive for the cost of living in our city, check at numbeo.com)

Who we are

The INIT institute joins research groups in our university mostly related to images from different standpoints, such as optics, mathematics, computer vision, computer graphics, videogames,  or geographical information systems. Our research group works on computer vision and machine learning on a variety of topics, including video analysis, gesture and action recognition, remote sensing, medical imaging, etc.

Research tasks

The main tasks the post-doc is expected to contribute to are:

• Attention estimates from purely visual data
• Integrating eye and brain data for richer attentional and affective estimates
• Designing and testing consistency estimates from crowdsourcing data
• Design and produce novel attention+affective annotations and visualizations

What we seek

Expertise in some of the following topics are desirable, more or less with this priority:

• Brain-computer interfaces (BCI): EEG, fNIRs
• Machine and Deep Learning (self-supervised learning, multimodal fusion, etc.)
• Computer Vision (computational salience in images/videos, video processing, visual attention, etc.)
• (Interactive) (Dynamic) Information Visualization
• Eye tracking, gaze analysis
• Human emotion and cognition, particularly (visual) attention
• Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
