Postdoc in fetal MEG with optically pumped magnetometers

This postdoctoral position focuses on fetal magnetoencephalography (MEG) utilizing optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs), indicating a need for expertise in advanced neuroimaging techniques and sensor technology. Candidates should have a strong background in MEG, particularly in fetal or neonatal applications, demonstrating familiarity with the challenges of recording and interpreting brain activity in utero. Proficiency with optically pumped magnetometers is essential, including knowledge of their operation, calibration, and integration into MEG systems. Experience in signal processing, data analysis, and artifact reduction specific to fetal MEG data is likely required. The role may also demand skills in experimental design, data acquisition, and possibly programming for data processing and visualization, often involving languages such as MATLAB, Python, or similar scientific computing tools. A solid understanding of neurophysiology, especially fetal brain development, and the physical principles underlying magnetic field measurement is important. Candidates should be capable of working independently in a research environment, contributing to publications, and collaborating within multidisciplinary teams. While specific experience and education levels are not detailed, the postdoctoral nature of the role implies a completed PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, physics, or a related field, with demonstrated research experience in MEG or related neuroimaging modalities. Overall, the position requires a combination of technical expertise in MEG instrumentation, sensor technology, and neurophysiological data analysis, alongside strong research and communication skills.
