Project idea
As part of the research & development program at MyelinH whose aim is to develop the next generation of software technology for monitoring the progression of brain diseases, the company is seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to work in the area of developing software that can use collected wearable data to remotely monitor the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) and assess the drug/treatment in MS patients. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the development and validation of various machine learning and signal processing algorithms for real-time interpretation and quantification of complex biosignals. The candidate will also be involved in clinical validation and will work alongside/collaborate with MyelinH clinical partners.
Offer Requirements
Minimum Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering, bioinformatics, or any related fields
- Strong background in mathematics, statistical analysis, and signal processing
- Preferences: Previous experience with EEG/ECG/EMG signal processing
Institute description
MyelinH is a software as a Medical Device (SaMD) company, based in Luxembourg, that provides revolutionary software technology for remote diagnosis and monitoring of brain diseases. MyelinH leverages machine learning to interpret in real-time complex biosignals, such as electroencephalographic (EEG), electromyographic (EMG), and electrocardiographic (ECG) signals, as well as microscopic saliva images. Using our proposed solution ‘BodyMirror’, we allow clinical teams to accurately monitor the progression of brain diseases, assess the treatment/drug effectiveness, and we provide them with a predictive view of the neurological disease trajectory, preventing, therefore, medical crises. Keywords: Brain Diseases, Monitoring & Prediction, Machine Learning, Medical Devices, Software.
About Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship
The MSCA PF are postdoctoral fellowships, financed through the European Commission for 2 year positions, covering salary and research costs of the researchers, who can come from anywhere in the world. The evaluation process of these programmes is more about the project and the career development of the candidate, than his/her publication record. The organizations in Luxembourg that want to host such talented researchers include large public research organizations as well as private companies that offer interesting job perspectives after completion of the fellowship.
Minimal eligibility criteria
- Individual: applicant applies together with host institute
- PhD at the deadline (PhD date cannot be more than 8 years ago)
- Not working or living in Luxembourg for longer than 12 months before the call deadline
