Job description

The Human Health & Performance Systems Group develops human-centered technologies to overcome operational challenges and to enhance human capability in domains of interest to national security. Our research programs focus on innovative and objective solutions in the areas of integrated wearable systems, human-machine teaming, enhanced communications, neurocognitive analytics, and medical technologies. Our group is highly interdisciplinary and includes scientific experts in physiology, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, biomechanics, computer science, engineering, and physics. Our core technical competencies include system-level modeling and gap analysis, advanced sensing and signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, computational modeling, hardware and software prototyping, model-based systems engineering, and human data collection in laboratory and field environments.
Job Description
The Human Health & Performance Systems Group is searching for a candidate to participate in and lead projects related to detecting, monitoring, and rehabilitating psychological, neurological and sensory (e.g., auditory, visual, vestibular) disorders, neurotrauma, and cognitive overload and fatigue. Analysis involves features based on mechanistic neuro-biophysical and neuro-motor computational modeling, neuromorphic (software and hardware) simulations, neural interface (e.g., EEG) technology, and machine learning coupled to brain imaging and neural tracing representations. We seek nonintrusive interactive interfaces to maximize effect of treatment and training and maximize resilience. Interfaces can take the form of neural and physiological wearables, sensory feedback therapies, and virtual humans and environments.
The candidate will assist in developing neural-science-based algorithms, brain and human computer interfaces, and computational models, as well as data collection and analysis. As experience is gained, the candidate will be required to generate their own innovative ideas and seek support for these program ideas. Background is required in advanced signal processing and machine learning. Background is desired in neuroscience (preferably modeling of neuro-motor and sensory systems and the neural basis of speech perception and production and vision). It is also desirable that the candidate have skills in neuromorphic computing (software and hardware) at both neural system and neural cell levels for real-time neurocomputational simulations. Hardware development experience is desirable. Candidate should also demonstrate abilities that include programming with Python, and/or C++, as well as statistical analysis and machine learning (scikit-learn, PyTorch, Tensorflow) capabilities. The candidate should hold a Ph.D. or Sci.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Neurocognitive Science, Speech/Hearing Sciences, or a similar technical field.
Recent Graduate Hiring Range: $145,200 - $170,000
Experienced Hiring Range: $145,200 - $220,000
Disclaimer: MIT Lincoln Laboratory provides a typical hiring range as a good faith estimate of what we reasonably expect to offer for this position at the time of posting.
