Open Postdoc Positions

Two postdoc opportunities in closed-loop human states predictions and support and human-autonomy teaming with the Texas A&M NeuroErgonomics Lab

Position: Post-doctoral Fellow

Start Date: Spring 2024 (in person)

Lab: NeuroErgonomics Lab (Director: Ranjana Mehta, PhD)

The NeuroErgonomics Lab in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University is seeking two post-doctoral fellows with strong backgrounds in human factors and ergonomics, cognitive neuroscience, HCI, or neural engineering to lead one of two extramurally funded research projects:

1) Human states predictions (e.g., stress, learning, fatigue) and closed-loop technological mitigations in controlled and field environments using wearable neuro/physiological/behavioral sensors; and

2) Multimodal brain-behavior mappings of human-autonomy teaming across increasing contextual complexities.

About the NeuroErgonomics Lab: Research in the NeuroErgonomics Lab utilizes theories, methods, and techniques from physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, engineering, and psychology to better understand, monitor, and augment human health and safety in high-risk environments (emergency response, defense, energy, space explorations).

Qualifications:

  • Interested candidates should have obtained a Ph.D. by the start date (the position can start in Spring 2024).
  • Knowledge of human factors theories and assessment methods (performance, physiological, and subjective assessments)
  • Knowledge and experience in developing/applying computational techniques to analyze bio-behavioral data (e.g., neural, physiological, movement, or eye tracking)
  • Excellent human subjects’ experimentation skills
  • Strong programming skills
  • A strong track record of peer-reviewed publications and presentations
  • The ideal candidate will have proven talent to work independently with excellent interpersonal, communication, and mentoring skills
