Research Assistant Professors - Brain Machine Interfaces and Biomimetic Prostheses #NSU009

Description

The University of Chicago's Department of Neurological Surgery invites applications for Research Assistant Professors in the area of brain-machine interfaces.  The appointees' primary activity will be to conduct academic research in association with a faculty member or team.  Specifically, appointees will use neural decoding from Utah arrays implanted into patients to develop a truly biomimetic hand prothesis.  Within this context, the appointees will focus on developing an independent program with an expectation of ultimately acquiring external support for their research.
