<p>The <b>medical faculty of the University of Münster</b>,
Germany, invites applications for a </p>
<h2><br>
Doctoral Student <br>
Ref.: 10939 </h2>
<p>for a TVL13, 65%, three year position to work on the combined
Electro- (EEG) and Magneto-encephalography (MEG) forward problem
in presurgical epilepsy diagnosis using calibrated realistic
finite element volume conductor models of the patients heads
within a DFG-funded project. </p>
<p>The successful applicant holds a Master’s degree (or equivalent)
in a relevant academic area such as <b>applied</b> <b>mathematics,
computer science, physics, biomedical or electrical engineering
or similar disciplines. </b>Good programming expertise (C++,
Matlab, Fortran or equivalent) and experience with the Linux
operating system is expected, because large software toolboxes
(DUNE-PDELab, see <a href="http://www.dune-project.org/"
target="_blank">http://www.dune-project.org/</a>) are used and
further developed. The working language at the institute is
English. Experience with finite element method based simulation
and the analysis of brain signals is advantageous, but not
essential. The applicant’s merits are assessed on the basis of the
quality of Master’s level studies and thesis, previous experience
with the numerical solution of partial differential equations,
numerical mathematics, inverse problems, software development,
motivation and research interests.
</p>
<p>The location for this research will mainly be the workgroups
“Methods in bioelectromagnetism” of PD Dr. Wolters at the
Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) and
“Applications of partial differential equations” of Prof. Dr.
Christian Engwer at the Institute for Computational and Applied
Mathematics, both at the University of Münster in Germany.
Expected close collaborations and visits are with the Department
of Neurosurgery at the University of Erlangen (Dr.med. Stefan
Rampp) and with the epilepsy centers Münster-Osnabrück (Dr.
Gabriel Möddel; PD Dr.med. Christoph Kellinghaus) and Bochum
(Prof. Dr.med. Jörg Wellmer). </p>
<p>The application should include a statement of research interests
and reasons for applying to the project, a curriculum vitae (max.
4 pages) composed according to good scientific practice, a
certificate of Master’s degree, copy of the master’s thesis and
grades of Master’s level studies, the names and e-mail addresses
of two referees and a proof of proficiency in English. </p>
<p>The position will be open until filled. To apply for the
position, please send the above documents as pdfs until
20.04.2016 to<b> PD Dr.rer.nat. Carsten Wolters</b>, Institute
for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis, University of Münster,
Malmedyweg 15, 48149 Münster, Germany, or by Email to <b><a
