Job Description

The research group KU Leuven ESAT-STADIUS is currently offering a postdoctoral position (2 years with possibility for extension) within the framework of an interdisciplinary project on epileptic seizure detection algorithms for a wearable EEG+PPG device. The goal is to create a prototype of a wearable seizure detection system which can give epilepsy patients better control in their daily life. The system will offer real-time seizure detection to alert the patient and the caretaker. The objective is to offer personalized solutions and algorithms allowing adaptive and patient-specific detection starting from synchronized acquisitions of brain and cardiorespiratory activity.
The research project is conducted in strong collaboration with the University Hospital Leuven, industrial partners and other academic partners within Flanders and abroad.

Profile:
We are seeking candidates with a PhD degree in information technology, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or machine learning and with solid relevant expertise in advanced data analytics for patient monitoring. Additional skills in leadership and project coordination are an advantage. A solid biomedical data processing background is essential. Candidates must be fluent in English.

Interested candidates can apply for this position through the KU Leuven online application tool by uploading a detailed CV, including a motivation letter and names of references.

For further information on this position, you may contact Professor Alexander Bertrand (alexander.bertrand@esat.kuleuven.be) or Professor Sabine Van Huffel (sabine.vanhuffel@esat.kuleuven.be).

Research Environment:
