(h.siebner@drcmr.dk) is seeking candidates for a multi-year postdoctoral
fellowship in combining noninvasive brain stimulation and EEG for
precision circuit therapy of cortico-basal ganglia circuits in
Parkinson´s disease. We are looking for an experienced Postdoctoral
researcher to conduct translational research at the intersection of
neuroscience, electrophysiology, brain stimulation, engineering,
neurology, and precision therapeutics. Join us as we scale up our
efforts to better understand how to use EEG to inform therapeutic
modulation of human brain circuits and to develop novel precision
stimulation treatments to improve Parkinson´s disease.<br> <br><b>You
will be part of the "ADAptive and Precise Targeting of cortex-basal
ganglia circuits in Parkinson´s Disease” (ADAPT) project.</b> The ADAPT
project is a multidisciplinary project funded by the Lundbeck Foundation
under its collaborative projects program. The ADAPT project is led by
Hartwig Siebner (PI) at the Danish Research Centre for Magnetic
Resonance (DRCMR) in Copenhagen and involves collaboration with Charité -
Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Co-PI: Andrea Kuehn) and Lund University
(Co-PI: Angela Cenci). <br><br><b>Summary of the project:</b> In this
collaborative and translational project, we will leverage recent
advances in brain stimulation technology to develop novel methods for
ADAptive and Precise brain-circuit Targeting (“ADAPT”) in rodents and
humans. Focusing on transcranial magnetic stimulation, we will use ADAPT
to mitigate dysfunctional circuit dynamics in patients with Parkinson´s
disease to improve motor function. Brain circuit mapping, modelling,
and modulation at different spatiotemporal scales will reveal how brain
circuit dynamics are shaped by ADAPT. These lines of research will
inform the optimization of transcranial brain stimulation in patients
with Parkinson´s disease to fine tune ADAPT in space and time. <br><br><b>Your role:</b>
Your role will be to map dysfunctional cortical circuit activity in
Parkinson´s disease with EEG and use EEG read-outs to inform
transcranial precision stimulation in real-time. You will design and
conduct EEG mapping as well as EEG-informed precision stimulation
experiments, acquiring and analyzing data, and writing the data up for
publication and dissemination. This will involve coding experimental
paradigms, building computational models, coding data processing
pipelines with a daily communication with other team members involved in
brain circuit mapping, modelling and modulation. <br><br><b>Essential skills & experience:</b><br>• Extensive practical research experience with EEG and/or MEG (not necessarily TMS-EEG), including experimental design and recording of EEG data in human populations, <br>• Strong signal processing and analysis skills in the field of EEG and /or MEG<br>• Extensive experience in coding (e.g. Python, Matlab) and statistical analyses <br>• PhD in biomedical/electrical engineering, clinical medicine, neuroscience, or related field<br>• Prior refereed journal publications<br>• Strong written and interpersonal communication skills<br><br><b>Advantageous skills & experience: </b><br>•
Prior conduct of neurostimulation experiments (preference for TMS),
with an understanding of the strengths and limitations of various study
designs <br>• Prior experience with applying EEG/MEG in clinical populations<br>• Prior experience with teaching and supervision of students and technicians<br><br><b>Working at DRCMR.</b>
You will be part of the Brain Circuit Modulation & Therapy (BCMT)
and the Neuroimaging of Movement Disorders (NiMoDis) groups, headed by
Hartwig Roman Siebner at the Danish Research Centre for Magnetic
Resonance (www.drcmr.dk) based at Copenhagen University Hospital
Hvidovre. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with engineers,
neurologists, psychologists, and interact with other groups at DRCMR.
The ADAPT project will involve a close collaboration with the clinical
movement disorders group at the Department of Neurology, Copenhagen
University Hospital Bispebjerg and our international project partners in
Berlin (Kuehn Lab, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin) and Lund
(Cenci Lab, Lund University). <br>DRCMR is a leading research center for
biomedical MRI in Europe. Approximately 75 researchers from a diverse
range of disciplines are currently pursuing basic and clinically applied
research. The DRCMR is embedded in the Center for Functional and
Diagnostic Imaging and Research, a large diagnostic imaging department
including all biomedical imaging modalities at the Copenhagen University
Hospital Amager and Hvidovre, Hvidovre, Denmark. DRCMR has a
state-of-the-art MR-research infrastructure enabling translational
research, which includes a pre-clinical 7T MR scanner, six whole-body MR
scanners (one 7T, three 3T and two 1.5T scanners) and a
High-Performance Computer cluster dedicated for neuroimaging data. The
DRCMR has pre-clinical labs, a neuropsychology laboratory, an EEG
laboratory, and two laboratories for precision brain circuit
stimulation. It is situated ~25mins cycle ride from central Copenhagen, a
city consistently ranked one of the highest in the world for quality of
life. <br><div>
