Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neurocritical Care Bioengineering and Information Technology
University of Pennsylvania

(Ref Id: 16991)

Date Posted Aug 19, 2014

Faculty William Andrew Kofke

Position Type NIH Grant

Number of
Slots one

School Perelman School of Medicine

Organization Anesthesiology and Critical Care

Description The Post-Doctoral Associate will participate in monitoring studies in the Neuro-ICU (e.g. research under the NIH grant R01 NS082309-01A1: DETECTION OF CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA WITH A NONINVASIVE
NEUROMETABOLIC OPTICAL MONITOR). Important post-doc contributions include development and utilization of software and hardware related to data acquisition, analysis, storage of physiologic signals, and processing of medical information/data. This work will entail having or developing familiarity with electronic medical records and databases and various neuromonitoring devices including intracranial pressure, microdialysis, cerebral blood flow, EEG, and PbO2; further, integration of the outputs of such monitors with spectroscopic and flow optical data from research devices will be needed. The post-doc will be expected to participate in the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of data, and will be intimately involved in presentations and publications that may follow. He/she will supervise and monitor information technology and database assistants and will interact with patients,families, graduate students, fellows, and research nurses.

Qualifications PhD in a relevant discipline such as physics, computational biology, neurophysiology, computer science, or bioengineering. It would be preferable for applicants to have experience which will bring capabilities in computer and IT hardware and software, database development and management, and neurophysiology.
