Postdoctoral Scholar–Research Associate

The Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) is looking for a 
Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate to join our /Mixed Reality Lab 
(MxR)./

The role of the researcher will be to support a project, investigating a 
new form of human-computer interaction, facilitated by 
electroencephalography (EEG), and known as cortically coupled computing. 
The project will involve the development of an immersive (virtual and 
augmented reality) experimental test bed to present 3D immersive stimuli 
to users and involve tasks such as locomotion, visual search, and other 
perceptual judgments. This experimental test bed will log EEG and other 
forms of data, which will be interpreted and used to train algorithms to 
assist users in performing complex recognition and search tasks. The 
researcher would contribute to study design, data analysis, 
implementation, and submission of results for publication.

The project is supported by US Army funding and will be performed in 
collaboration with researchers across a number of different universities 
and organizations. This is a one-year position, with the possibility of 
renewal contingent upon funding.

Preferred Education:

  * A Ph.D., or equivalent, within the last three years in computer
    science, human-computer interaction, or a related field is preferred.

  Skills:

  * Strong software engineering skills

Experience:

  * Designing, implementing, and conducting human-subjects research.
  * Physiological data collection, such as EEG, is a desirable.
  * Development experience with virtual or augmented reality and the
    Unity game engine.
  * A track record of publication in peer reviewed journals and
    conferences are preferred.

Why work at ICT:

  * A quality work-life balance
  * Meet interesting people from all walks of life – technologists,
    social scientists, military, writers, producers, philanthropists
  * Free, top-tier university education for you and your children
  * Located in the heart of Silicon Beach
  * Great benefits - medical to matched retirement http://benefits.usc.edu/

The University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative 
Technologies (ICT) is an off campus research facility, located on a 
creative business campus in the “Silicon Beach” neighborhood of Playa 
Vista. We are world leaders in innovative training and education 
solutions, computer graphics, computer simulations, and immersive 
experiences for decision-making, cultural awareness, leadership and health.
