Senior Staff Scientist, Computational Neuroscience

Science – Technology Strategy, San Francisco

Advanced Technology Group

 

Dolby Laboratories is looking for a self-motivated, talented individual interested in applying their theoretical and practical expertise in computational neural and psychophysical data-driven modeling as well as expertise in biological system interface to the development of innovative sensory-based technologies. This individual will work closely with scientists, developers, and a data collection team to innovate and develop new technologies that enhance and optimize the human sensory experience.

 

This position involves theoretical and data-driven computational development of innovative technologies. Computational development will be guided by neural or psychophysical behavioral data with emphasis on multimodal and sensory integration as well as closed-loop biological interfaces. The position is in the Science Group – within the Technology Strategy department of Dolby Laboratories. It will involve work in close collaboration with other scientists/technology developers/researchers in multiple locations.

 

The individual should have expert skills working with novel data sets of various background origins and strong working knowledge of current machine learning methods applied to computational models of perception. Ideal candidates have expertise in application of probabilistic statistical modeling, machine learning, and multiple neural network architectures with a broad understanding of methodological approaches and proficiency in practice. Ideal candidates should have experience in biological interface hardware with application to technological prototyping. An applied understanding of optimization and dynamical systems is highly desired.

Development will be informed by methods of experimental evaluation and sensor biometrics, including but not limited to, multimodal immersive environments, behavioral and consumer analyses, and human physiological measures such as EEG,  galvanic-skin conductance, thermal IR, and pupillometry.

 

 

Requirements: Candidates must have these skills or background:

  • A PhD in Computer Science, Computational Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field with ideally 5 years of experience, or a Masters Degree or equivalent with at least 7-10 years of experience.
  • Expertise and innovation in methods, theory, and application of probabilistic statistical modeling, machine learning, and neural network architectures with a broad understanding of methodological approaches and proficiency in practice.
  • Prior exposure and comfort with applied development to biological interface hardware with application to technological prototyping.
  • Strong expertise and knowledge of computational and probabilistic models of sensory perception
  • Applied understanding of methods of optimization and dynamical systems
  • Expert abilities to work with new data sets regardless of prior exposure to current domain
  • Prior understanding of sensory processing and experimental research
  • Proficient in methods of quantitative evaluation including methods of non-parametric analyses
  • Strong interest in learning and researching new technologies
  • Proficient at writing technical papers/reports/presentations. 
  • Experience working in teams and a team-oriented work ethic.
  • Highly proficient in Matlab
  • Proficiency with Python
  • Experience with C, and C++

 

Also highly desirable is:

  • Knowledge of signal processing theory
  • Experience with speech, audio, or video technologies
  • Prior expertise and exposure using non-invasive human physiological measures such as EEG, galvanic-skin conductance, pupillometry, or other similar measures
