We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.

To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise in the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB).

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Contribute to the development, evaluation and application of new EEG and MEG neuroimaging and mc-tCS simulation approaches based on realistic head volume conductor models using modern finite element methods as well as sensitivity analysis
• Apply new methods in close collaboration with our clinical colleagues for investigating apparent visual motion in a group of healthy participants

The location for this research will be the workgroup of Prof. Dr. Carsten Wolters at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) . Expected close collaborations and visits are to the partnering clinic, namely the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Lübeck.

REQUIREMENTS:

• PhD and Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant academic area such as applied mathematics, computer science, physics, biomedical or electrical engineering or related disciplines

• Working language at the institute is English
• Experience with targeted and optimized brain stimulation as well as the measurement and analysis of brain signals is advantageous, but not essential

Applications will be evaluated on the quality of Master’s level studies and thesis, previous experience with neuroimaging, numerical mathematics, optimization, inverse problems, software development, experimental experience, motivation and research interests.

WE OFFER:

• Salary according to TV-L E13, Extra annual payment, and company pension plan (VBL)
