Engineer / Physicist / Scientist position in fMRI research, University of
Zurich, Switzerland
The Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research (SNS lab) at the
University of Zurich is recruiting an MR physicist, MR engineer, or
technically minded fMRI scientist for a project on the combination of
brain stimulation techniques and fMRI. The successful candidate will work
with Christian Ruff at the SNS lab and Klaas Pruessmann’s MRI technology
group at the Institute for Biomedical Engineering. The aim of the project
is to develop and optimise hard- and software solutions for concurrent
brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS) and fMRI, and to assess and mitigate the
effects of these techniques on MR image quality.
The SNS lab and the Institute for Biomedical Engineering offer an exciting
and friendly multi-disciplinary research environment with ample
opportunities for training and collaboration, and excellent technical
facilities (including three 3T MR scanners, a 7T high-field human MR
scanner, and several research-dedicated technical workshops). For details
please see www.sns.uzh.ch and www.mr.ethz.ch.
Applications are welcome from overseas as well as from EU nationals
(working language in the laboratory is English). Employment can begin
immediately but is negotiable. The project is initially funded for three
years, with possibilities for further extension. The position will be
advertised until filled.
Application should be made electronically. Please submit your CV, copies
of all relevant degrees, a statement of interest, and the names and email
addresses of two referees to the following address (quoting the words
‘application brain stimulation fMRI’ in the e-mail header):
