epilepsy diagnosis *

The *medical faculty of the University of Münster*, Germany, invites 
applications for a


    Doctoral Student
    Ref.: 10937

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.

The successful applicant holds a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a 
relevant academic area such as *applied mathematics, computer science, 
physics, biomedical or electrical engineering or similar disciplines.* 
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.

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).

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.

The position will be open until filled. To apply for the position, 
please send the above documents as pdfs until 20.04.2016 to *PD Dr. 
rer.nat. Carsten Wolters*, Institute for Biomagnetism and 
Biosignalanalysis, University of Münster, Malmedyweg 15, 48149 Münster, 
Germany, or by Email to *carsten.wolters(at)­uni-muenster(dot)­de
