Post Doctoral Researcher Signal Processing Engineer INFANT Research Centre

2 Years, Fixed-Term, Whole-Time Post

Position Summary

INFANT is now accepting applications for a Signal Processing Engineer to support the work of the ELEVATE programme.

The ELEVATE programme aims to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to interrogate vast maternal and neonatal datasets already available on thousands of infants through previous INFANT Centre research studies and from data available in the maternal and newborn electronic health record. The datasets will be used to develop models required for early prediction of brain injury associated with CP and to identify the features of pregnancy, labour and the early neonatal period that are commonly associated these injuries.  Early EEG and biomarkers gathered in studies will be assessed for their ability to predict severity of CP motor and cognitive trajectories with the aim of helping to lower the age of diagnoses. Machine learning techniques will be applied to combine datasets to establish the best predictive models for children’s development and potential response to intervention.
