<h3>Doctoral Student</h3>
<p><b>Neuroscientist with focus on the EEG/MEG inverse problem in
presurgical epilepsy diagnosis </b>
</p>
<p>The <b>medical faculty of the University of Münster</b>,
Germany, invites applications for a </p>
<h2>Doctoral Student <br>
Ref.: 10937 </h2>
<p>for a TVL13, 65%, three year position to work on the combined
Electro- (EEG) and Magneto-encephalography (MEG) inverse 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 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 are
used and further developed. The working language at the institute
is English. Experience with the measurement and 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 inverse problems, numerical
mathematics, software development, motivation and research
interests.
</p>
<p>The location for this research will mainly be the workgroups
“Methods in bioelectromagnetism” of Dr. Wolters at the Institute
for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) and “Imaging” of
Prof. Dr. Martin Burger 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
