[FieldTrip] Neuroscientist positions available at IBB in Münster/Germany

[Carsten Wolters]

*Neuroscientist(s) with focus on new methodological approaches in EEG 
and MEG**
**neuroimaging and the simulation of multi-channel transcranial direct 
current**
**stimulation (mc-tDCS)*

The medical faculty in collaboration with the mathematics department of 
the University of Münster,
Germany, invites expressions of interest for a
*PostDoctoral Researcher (TVL13, 100%)*
                 or for
*two Doctoral Students (TVL13, 50%)*
for three-year positions to work within the German Research Foundation 
(DFG) funded project
“Multi-channel transcranial direct current stimulation (mc-tDCS): a 
novel approach to modulate
smooth pursuit eye movement control in healthy individuals and patients 
with psychotic disorders”
(funding period from 2021 to 2024), see
https://www.medizin.uni-muenster.de/fileadmin/einrichtung/biomag/DFG-Schizo.pdf

The applicants will contribute to the development, evaluation and 
application of new EEG
and MEG neuroimaging and mc-tDCS simulation approaches based on 
realistic head
volume conductor models using modern finite element methods as well as 
sensitivity
analysis. The new methods will be applied in close collaboration with 
our clinical colleagues for
investigating the interaction of sensory processing and motor control 
during ongoing smooth pursuit
eye movements in a group of healthy and a group of schizophrenia patients.

The successful applicant holds a PhD degree and/or 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 (Matlab, C++,
Python 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 targeted and optimized brain stimulation and 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 PhD and/or Master’s level studies and thesis, previous 
experience with neuroimaging,
numerical mathematics, optimization, inverse problems, software 
development, motivation and
research interests.

The location for this research will be the workgroups of Prof. Dr. 
Carsten Wolters and Prof. Dr. Joachim Groß
at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) 
(https://www.medizin.uni-muenster.de/biomag/das-institut.html),
and of Prof. Dr. Christian Engwer, Institute for Computational and 
Applied Mathematics,
all at the University of Münster in Germany.
Expected close collaborations and visits are to the partnering clinics, 
namely the Departments of
Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Lübeck (director: 
Prof. Dr. Stefan Borgwardt) and at
the Department of Mental Health at the University of Münster (director: 
Prof. Dr. Bernhard Baune).

The expressions of interest should include a statement of research 
interests and reasons for applying to the
project, a curriculum vitae (max. 5 pages) composed according to good 
scientific practice, a certificate
of PhD and/or 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. As an expression of interest for 
the position, please send the above
documents as pdfs until 31.10.2020 to
Prof. Dr. Carsten Wolters,
Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis,
University of Münster,
Malmedyweg 15,
48149 Münster,
Germany,
or by Email to carsten.wolters at uni-muenster.de

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