The He Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University (https://www.cmu.edu/bme/helab/) is seeking highly
motivated candidates to fill multiple postdoctoral positions, available immediately but can be filled till
summer 2024. The chosen candidates will conduct original research integrating neuroengineering and
neuroscience in one of the following projects.
1- EEG-based Brain Computer Interface (BCI). Developing BCI decoding algorithms and BCI strategies that
integrate ML with human learning, and evaluation in human subjects. Focus is on motor imagery paradigms.
Qualifications: PhD in BME, ECE, Neuroscience or a related field. Prior experience in doctoral thesis research working
on EEG BCI. Experience with motor imagery BCI using EEG desirable.
2- EEG/MEG Source Imaging and Localization. Developing source imaging algorithms to localize and image
locations, extents, and temporal dynamics of brain activation and image functional connectivity and networks from
scalp recorded EEG/MEG. The project mainly involves algorithm development and data analysis. Qualifications: PhD
in BME, ECE, or a related field. Prior experience in doctoral thesis research working on EEG or MEG source imaging
or connectivity imaging. Experience with epilepsy source localization or connectivity mapping desirable.
3- Transcranial Focused Ultrasound (tFUS) Neuromodulation. Developing multi-element tFUS array system for
brain stimulation, and investigating optimized ultrasound parameters for effective modulating neural circuits in in vivo
rodents, and human subjects. Qualifications: PhD in BME, ECE, Physics, Neuroscience, or a related field. Prior
experience in doctoral thesis research working on focused ultrasound neuromodulation in animal models or human
subjects highly desirable. Candidates with prior doctoral thesis research in TMS will also be considered.
The individuals will join a highly collaborative group working on neural interfacing, imaging and
modulation with mixed expertise in engineering, computation, animal models and human
investigation. The candidates will publish peer-reviewed journal articles and help mentor graduate
students carrying out experiments.
For consideration, e-mail a CV and the names and contact information of three professional

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU): CMU is a premier institution in science and engineering education and
research. CMU’s College of Engineering is ranked as the 5th best engineering school in USA according to US
News and World Report. Pittsburgh is a vibrant, mid-sized city that has the feel of a small town. Its
approachability can be seen on the faces of its energetic, hard-working and proud people. A city built on
innovation, Pittsburgh continues to push the envelope with major contributions in technology, education,
medicine and beyond. In 2021, WalletHub named Greater Pittsburgh its sixth-best metro area for STEM
professionals.
