For the german research foundation (DFG) project entitled „"Reconstruction of epilepsy-characteristic sources by means of a simultaneous evaluation of EEG- and MEG-data using calibrated realistic headmodels", the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) of the University of Münster offers a position for a

Research scientist (PostDoc or PhD student).

The position is available for 3 years. Payment is according to Bat2a/TVL13.

The research project is a cooperation of the IBB with the epilepsy center Erlangen. It aims at reconstructing epilepsy-characteristic electric potentials and magnetic fields for the identification of the epileptogenic zone to improve the therapy of pharmaco-resistant epilepsies. The main project goal is the development and application of methods for a combined source analysis of Electroencephalography (EEG) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in individually optimized finite element head models.

The successful applicant holds a degree in informatics, mathematics, physics, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering or similar, and possesses good programming experience (C++ under Linux). Experience with the measurement and analysis of brain signals is advantageous, but not essential.

In order to increase the proportion of female staff members, applications from female scientists are particularly encouraged. Disabled applicants are preferred if qualification is equal.

The selection procedure starts as the applications come in. Please send your application to
