PhD & Postdoctoral Positions, University Hospital Tuebingen, Germany (2019)

Our group at the Div. Functional and Restorative Neurosurgery (Head: Prof. Gharabaghi), University Hospital Tuebingen, Germany, unites neuroscientists, engineers, computer scientists and physicians following a common goal: to improve the lives of patients with neurological disorders using state-dependent and adaptive stimulation of the nervous system. To achieve this goal, we combine online analysis of electrophysiology (e.g. EEG, LFP) with non-invasive (TMS, tACS, tDCS, FES, NMES) or invasive (DBS) stimulation. In order to strengthen our team, we are looking for: Postdocs and PhD students for a three years period with the possibility of extension.

What you can expect:
- Design and evaluate novel brain stimulation paradigms. Investigate the effects of these paradigms using electrophysiological data. Expand the understanding of the human brain.
- Opportunity to work with in vivo data. Examine electrophysiological signals from patients and healthy controls. We support your work with a broad range of pre-built analysis tools and assist you in designing your own approaches.
- Access to state-of-the-art technologies to generate reliable results.
- Join a team that is united by a vision: to enhance the understanding of the human brain in order to invent and implement more effective therapies.
- 3-year contract, third-party funded in accordance with the German public service collective agreement pay scale and your previous experience.

Qualifications:
- Master’s degree or PhD in the field of Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Biology, Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science or related fields.
- Solid understanding of statistical data analysis, digital signal processing and/or programming principles.
- Programming skills in Python or MATLAB and/or experience in applying statistical tools, e.g. machine learning for data analysis.
- Experience with relevant techniques, i.e. tDCS, TMS, NMES, M/EEG, and/or EMG.
- Team player
