Neuroscientist(s) with focus on simulation of high-definition transcranial
electric stimulation (hd-tES)
Ref. 11890

The* Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis* at the medical
faculty of the University of Münster, Germany, invites applications for a
PostDoctoral Researcher and/or for Doctoral Students *Salary according to
TV-L E13 **(100% or 50 %)*
*Full-Time with 38,5 (hours/week) or Part-Time with 19,25 (hours/week)*

for three year positions to work on the development and evaluation of new
(i.e., new inverse electrode optimization and new forward finite element
method algorithms)
simulation approaches for hd-tES using realistic head volume conductor
models within the DFG-funded priority program SPP1665/2 (second funding
period: from 2016 to 2019)
“Resolving and manipulating neuronal networks in the mammalian brain - from
correlative to causal analysis”
in project
“Individualized closed-loop transcranial alternating current stimulation”.
More informations can be found on  <http://www.spp1665.de/>
http://www.spp1665.de/.
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++, 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 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 numerical mathematics, inverse problems and
optimization approaches,
software development, motivation and research interests.

The location for this research will mainly be the workgroups
“SIM-NEURO: Simulation, Imaging and Modeling of NEUROnal networks in the
human brain”
of PD Dr. Wolters at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis
(IBB),
“Imaging”
of Prof. Dr. Martin Burger at the Institute for Computational and Applied
Mathematics and
“Applications of Partial Differential Equations”
of JProf. Dr. Christian Engwer, all at the University of Münster in
Germany.
Expected close collaborations and visits are to the partnering institutes,
namely the
University of Oldenburg (Prof. Dr. Christoph Herrmann) and the
University of Hamburg (Dr. Till Schneider).

The application 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. To apply for the position until
*Oct.31*, *2016*, please send the above documents as pdfs to
*PD 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(dot)­de*.

For additional information please contact *PD Dr. Carsten Wolters* (Email:
*carsten.wolters(at)­uni-muenster(dot)­de*, Phone: +49 (0)251/83-56904).

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.
