<b>Neuroscientist(s) with focus on new methodological approaches in
EEG and MEG</b><b><br>
</b><b>neuroimaging and the simulation of multi-channel transcranial
direct current</b><b><br>
</b><b>stimulation (mc-tDCS)</b><br>
<br>
The medical faculty in collaboration with the mathematics department
of the University of Münster,<br>
Germany, invites expressions of interest for a <br>
<b>PostDoctoral Researcher (TVL13, 100%)</b> <br>
or for<br>
<b>two Doctoral Students (TVL13, 50%)</b><br>
for three-year positions to work within the German Research
Foundation (DFG) funded project<br>
“Multi-channel transcranial direct current stimulation (mc-tDCS): a
novel approach to modulate<br>
smooth pursuit eye movement control in healthy individuals and
patients with psychotic disorders”<br>
(funding period from 2021 to 2024), see<br>

<br>
The applicants will contribute to the development, evaluation and
application of new EEG<br>
and MEG neuroimaging and mc-tDCS simulation approaches based on
realistic head<br>
volume conductor models using modern finite element methods as well
as sensitivity<br>
analysis. The new methods will be applied in close collaboration
with our clinical colleagues for<br>
investigating the interaction of sensory processing and motor
control during ongoing smooth pursuit<br>
eye movements in a group of healthy and a group of schizophrenia
patients.<br>
<br>
The successful applicant holds a PhD degree and/or a Master’s degree
(or equivalent) in a relevant<br>
academic area such as applied mathematics, computer science,
physics, biomedical or<br>
electrical engineering or similar disciplines. Good programming
expertise (Matlab, C++,<br>
Python or equivalent) and experience with the Linux operating system
is expected, because large<br>
software toolboxes are used and further developed. The working
language at the institute is English.<br>
Experience with targeted and optimized brain stimulation and with
the measurement and analysis of<br>
brain signals is advantageous, but not essential. The applicant’s
merits are assessed on the basis of the<br>
quality of PhD and/or Master’s level studies and thesis, previous
experience with neuroimaging,<br>
numerical mathematics, optimization, inverse problems, software
development, motivation and<br>
research interests.<br>
<br>
The location for this research will be the workgroups of Prof. Dr.
Carsten Wolters and Prof. Dr. Joachim Groß<br>
at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.medizin.uni-muenster.de/biomag/das-institut.html">https://www.medizin.uni-muenster.de/biomag/das-institut.html</a>),
<br>
and of Prof. Dr. Christian Engwer, Institute for Computational and
Applied Mathematics, <br>
all at the University of Münster in Germany.<br>
Expected close collaborations and visits are to the partnering
clinics, namely the Departments of<br>
Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Lübeck (director:
Prof. Dr. Stefan Borgwardt) and at<br>
the Department of Mental Health at the University of Münster
(director: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Baune).<br>
<br>
The expressions of interest should include a statement of research
interests and reasons for applying to the<br>
project, a curriculum vitae (max. 5 pages) composed according to
good scientific practice, a certificate<br>
of PhD and/or Master’s degree, copy of the master’s thesis and
grades of Master’s level studies, the<br>
names and e-mail addresses of two referees and a proof of
proficiency in English.<br>
<br>
The position will be open until filled. As an expression of interest
for the position, please send the above <br>
documents as pdfs until 31.10.2020 to <br>
Prof. Dr. Carsten Wolters, <br>
Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis, <br>
University of Münster, <br>
Malmedyweg 15, <br>
48149 Münster, <br>
Germany, <br>

Applications of women are specifically invited. In the case of
similar qualifications, competence, and specific<br>
achievements, women will be considered on preferential terms within
the framework of the legal possibilities.<br>
Handicapped candidates with equivalent qualifications will be given
preference.
