The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

Description

Are you passionate about designing systems or algorithms using what we know about the mind and brain?

Do you want to help invent the future of how people interact with intelligent systems?

If you are graduating with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cognitive Science, Mathematics or a related subject area, we'd love to have you join our team!

We are seeking a researcher to contribute to and lead pioneering work in neural interfaces, neurally-inspired AI and/or human-machine teaming. We are a large multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists engaged in groundbreaking research in applied neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and robotics. We are looking for a motivated and collaborative teammate to support research and development of intelligent systems as a strategic advantage for the nation.

As a Human-Machine Interfaces Researcher...

• Your primary role will be leading and/or developing algorithms and/or systems in domains spanning neural interfaces, biologically inspired AI, connectomics, and human-machine teaming.
• You will make an impact as an emerging leader on a multi-disciplinary research team, collaboratively leading and conducting pioneering research with government and commercial partners.
• You will collaborate with engineers and scientists to design and perform human subjects research, machine learning, software systems, and/or biomedical signal processing.
• You will communicate key findings both internally across teams and externally to sponsors, including in proposal development.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

• Have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cognitive Science, Mathematics or a related discipline
• Have classroom or professional experience developing software and/or data analysis scripts
