Physicist / Engineer / 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 Prof. Christian Ruff at the SNS lab and Prof. 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. Salary is negotiable depending on
qualifications and experience. 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):
