<h2>Neuroscientist(s) with focus on simulation of high-definition
transcranial electric stimulation (hd-tES)<br>
Ref. 11890</h2>
<p> The<b> Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis</b> at
the medical faculty of the University of Münster, Germany, invites
applications for a </p>
<h2>PostDoctoral Researcher and/or for Doctoral Students </h2>
<b>Salary according to TV-L E13 </b><b>(100% or 50 %)</b><b><br>

(hours/week)</b><b><br>
</b><b>
</b>
<p>for three year positions to work on the development and
evaluation of new (i.e., new inverse electrode optimization and
new forward finite element method algorithms) <br>
simulation approaches for hd-tES using realistic head volume
conductor models within the DFG-funded priority program SPP1665/2
(second funding period: from 2016 to 2019) <br>
“Resolving and manipulating neuronal networks in the mammalian
brain - from correlative to causal analysis” <br>
in project <br>
“Individualized closed-loop transcranial alternating current
stimulation”. <br>

The successful applicant holds a PhD degree and/or a Master’s degree
(or equivalent) in a relevant academic area such as <br>
applied mathematics, computer science, physics, biomedical or
electrical engineering or similar disciplines. <br>
Good programming expertise (Matlab, C++, or equivalent) and
experience with the Linux operating system is expected, <br>
because large software toolboxes are used and further developed. The
working language at the institute is English. <br>
Experience with brain stimulation and with the measurement and
analysis of brain signals is advantageous, but not essential. <br>
The applicant’s merits are assessed on the basis of the quality of
PhD and/or Master’s level studies and thesis, <br>
previous experience with numerical mathematics, inverse problems and
optimization approaches, <br>
software development, motivation and research interests.
<p>The location for this research will mainly be the workgroups <br>
“SIM-NEURO: Simulation, Imaging and Modeling of NEUROnal networks
in the human brain” <br>
of PD Dr. Wolters at the Institute for Biomagnetism and
Biosignalanalysis (IBB), <br>
“Imaging” <br>
of Prof. Dr. Martin Burger at the Institute for Computational and
Applied Mathematics and <br>
“Applications of Partial Differential Equations” <br>
of JProf. Dr. Christian Engwer, all at the University of Münster
in Germany. <br>
Expected close collaborations and visits are to the partnering
institutes, namely the <br>
University of Oldenburg (Prof. Dr. Christoph Herrmann) and the <br>
University of Hamburg (Dr. Till Schneider). </p>
<p>The application should include a statement of research interests
and reasons for applying to the project, <br>
a curriculum vitae (max. 5 pages) composed according to good
scientific practice, a certificate of PhD and/or Master’s degree,
<br>
copy of the master’s thesis and grades of Master’s level studies,
the names and e-mail addresses of two referees <br>
and a proof of proficiency in English. </p>
