Research Fellow in Sleep Physiology and Dementia (051419)

Research Fellow in Sleep Physiology and Dementia

Applications are invited for a Dementia Research Institute funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow position (36 months in the first instance) based in the Surrey Sleep Research Centre led by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk in the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.

This post is funded by the Dementia Research Institute (DRI) Care Research & Technology Centre, which is a collaboration between Imperial College London and the University of Surrey. The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) was created through a joint investment from the Medical Research Council (MRC), Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a comprehensive research programme into the development and validation of technology relevant to dementia. The successful candidate will work across a variety of tasks and research methods to develop and evaluate technology for EEG based monitoring of sleep in humans in the home environment. 

We are therefore looking for a highly motivated individual who holds a PhD in a relevant area and has an interest in sleep, EEG analysis, technology and data science/machine learning.

For more information and informal discussions, please contact Prof Dijk (d.j.dijk@surrey.ac.uk; 01483 689341)
