Stillingstittel:
MSCA Fellow - Optical monitoring of the brain activity

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
MSCA Fellow - Optical monitoring of the brain Activity
Call for Expression of Interest for mutual application under the Marie Skodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship scheme
We hereby invite for top-class researchers of any nationality (at any stage in their career) in the study of Optical monitoring of the brain activity to apply for a EU-funded Marie Sklodowska Curie Action Individual Fellowship (MSCA-IF) to conduct research at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University for a period of 1-2 years.

Areas of research
Preferred main research goals for candidate:The field of biomedical engineering is at the confluence of modern engineering and medicine, yet it is a growing field that has to meet the challenges in a cross-disciplinary approaches. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables the non-invasive measurement of spatiotemporal characteristics of brain function, which has received increasing attention during the last years. Although advances in the NIRS techniques have had a major impact on our understanding of oxygenation and circulation of the brain, there are still many questions regarding the mechanisms behind these processes that have to be addressed.

The research objective for this project involves experimentation on fNIRS with other biological parameters as tissue carbon dioxide (PtCO2), hearth rate viability and respiration rate. The project may result in developing new approaches for fNIRS methods as a neuroimaging technique in a combinational of other sensory schemes to speckle and understand the brain tissue activation.

The candidates should address questions such as: Candidates taking a global rather than a national view is especially welcomed.

Successful candidates will be supervised by Associate Prof. Peyman Mirtaheri will be working as team member of the OsloMet research group of the Department of Mechanical, Electronics and Chemical Engineering.

With this call for Expression of Interest, we invite researchers to submit their resumé in ERC format (including publication list) and a short project abstractJV_description, that will be the basis for selecting a maximum of three candidates with which we will collaborate in developing competitive MSCA-IF proposals. In this first phase, the cooperation will be carried out remotely, but with regular email and Skype communication, and one physical meeting, if convenient. If applicants are successful, the place of work will be at the main campus in the center of Oslo.

Starting Date
The EU informs the results on the MSCA-IF applications in January/February 2020. Successful candidate(s) are expected to be available to start within the following 2 months. The candidates must be assessed as in principle eligible for a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship.

Main duties of the position

The successful candidate will primarily work on the Marie Curie funded project, but will be integrated at the NIRS lab and the department in general, by taking part in regular meetings and discussion groups, but will specifically be introduced with Peyman Mirtaheri national and international network. If agreed with the candidate, he/she may also be included in other ongoing projects or in proposal processes.

We are looking for applicants who have a minimum have a PhD in the cross disciplinary environment involving medicine, machine learning and informatics, electronics and product and industrial design.

Research Experience:

- Good individual scientific research capabilities;
- Preferably already the first author of several scientific journal research papers;

Language skills: English  


We are looking for applicants who have 

- An excellent track record in research, necessary for being able to develop a competitive Marie Curie Fellowship application
- An open and cooperation oriented nature, but with strong abilities for independent academic work

It is important for OsloMet to reflect the population of our region, and all qualified candidates are welcome to apply. We make active efforts to further develop as an inclusive workplace and to adapt the workplace if required.

Evaluation Committee

Proposals will be pre-selected based on internal evaluation and the availability of suitable supervision. Candidates will be informed of the results of the pre-selection by March 8th, 2019.

Selected candidates may be invited to Master classes to meet the supervisor and visit the research environment at OsloMet to further develop the proposal organised by OsloMet 29.04 -30.04.2019.

The candidate(s) selected to proceed with a full Marie Curie Application will be supported by the OsloMet EU team and the leader of the research group. Deadline for submission of Application is September 11th, 2019. 

Originals must be presented if you are invited for an interview. OsloMet performs document inspections in order to give you as a candidate a proper evaluation and ensure fair competition.
