Post Doctoral Fellowships by IIT Mandi iHub and HCI Foundation at Himachal Pradesh [Multiple Positions]: Applications Open

 Applications are invited from Indian citizens for the Post Doctoral Fellowships in the IIT Mandi iHub and HCI Foundation (iHub), situated on the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi campus at Kamand Himachal Pradesh.

About iHub

IIT Mandi iHub and HCI Foundation (iHub) is a section 8 company established under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS).

Details

Human-computer interaction, also referred to as man-machine interaction (MMI), is a wide and multidisciplinary field that aims to improve the interactions between users and computers by making computers more usable and receptive to the users’ needs.

The field involves decision tasks that require a joint performance by both humans and machines. Some important aspects of HCI are user-interface design and user-interface evaluation.

Post Details

Title of the post: Multisensory Experience

• Number of posts: Two (02)
• Job profile: The fellow would work on Design Interfaces that allow the stimulation of unexplored sensory inputs (e.g., Digital Smell), as well as interfaces that take into account the relationships between the senses (e.g., integration of taste and smell into flavour).
• Job description for Post 1 – Multisensory: The main goal is to design Dynamic Haptic HCIs and to understand the ways in which human senses process information and relate to one another. To determine which Tactile, Gustatory, and Olfactory experiences we can design for, and how to meaningfully stimulate them in technology interactions.
• Requirements: PhD in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, computer science or other related fields; profound knowledge and experience in the field of haptics and/or mechatronics; high motivation and independent as well as scientific working style; open-mindedness for interdisciplinary research and very good English skills.
• Joining date: As soon as possible.

Title of the post: EEG/MRI

• Number of posts: One (01)
• Job profile: The ideal candidate will have expertise in human EEG/ERP, MRI, visual or auditory perception, psychophysical testing, and programming experience, and familiarity with computational and statistical methods related to imaging analyses.
• Job description for Post 2 – EEG/MRI: A strong work ethic, excellent organizational and communication skills are expected. Willingness to learn new techniques or software environments and a strong foundation in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology is a plus.
• Requirements: Candidates should have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, physics, biomedical engineering, or related disciplines, and experience in conducting experiments and performing advanced data analysis with task-based EEG and/or MRI methods, including an ability to read and write code relevant to EEG and MRI data analyses.
• Joining date: As soon as possible.

Title of the post: Doctor (MD) in Radiology or Neuroscience (for fMRI and EEG analyses)

• Number of posts: One (01)
• Job profile: The ideal candidate will have expertise in human EEG and fMRI, visual or auditory
• Job description for Post 3 – Doctor (MD) in Radiology or Neuroscience: The objective of this position is to explore the Interaction of Radiation with Matter, Radiation Detection and Measurement, Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Computed Tomography, Ultrasonography etc. The prospective candidate must be willing to learn/ invent about the concerned domain and its various dimensions.
• Requirements: The candidate must have an M.B.B.S. degree and expertise in X-rays, High Energy Radiation, Radiologic Technology, knowledge about numerous Medical Imaging Modalities for correlating various types of radiographic findings.
• Joining date: As soon as possible.

Title of the post: DL-ML, Graph Network, and RL

• Number of posts: Two (02)
• Job profile: The candidate must have expertise in Deep Learning and Machine Learning.
• Job description for Post 4 – DL-ML, Graph Network, and RL: The fundamental goal of this position is either to enhance existing framework(s) by including/reframing features or to invent new framework(s) by concerning the DL/ ML/ RL and NLP for the production of absolute scientific results and analysis with distinct research strategies.
• Requirements: The candidate must have a Ph.D degree and expertise in Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Supervised/ Unsupervised Learning and Natural Language Processing etc. Working experience with MATLAB, OCTAVE simulators and programming with python will be advantageous.
• Joining date: As soon as possible.
