We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral and a PhD student
position in the Computational Neuroscience &
Magnetoencephalography group at the Biomagnetic Centre (http://www.biomag.uni-jena.de),
Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena, Germany.
The successful candidates will develop novel analysis methods for
Magneto- and Electroencephalography (MEG/EEG) such as connectivity
analysis, source reconstruction and advanced single trial analysis.
The positions are devoted to research only without any teaching or
administrative duties. The work will be done in collaboration with
the MEG and theoretical neuroscience groups at the Wellcome Trust
Centre for Neuroimaging in London, UK. These positions are ideal for
candidates with a computational/theoretical background and a strong
interest in collaborating with experimental researchers in
neuroimaging.
The lab runs a 306 channels MEG (Neuromag Vectorview) with 128
integrated EEG sensors, a high-density EEG system, and
high-performing compute servers. In addition the group has access to
a research-only 3T MRI-scanner. All experimental facilities (MEG,
EEG, MRI) are supported by experienced physics and IT staff.
The applicants should have worked in neuroscience before and be
motivated to work in a multidisciplinary team (e.g. mathematicians,
engineers, psychologists, physicians).
The postdoc applicant must have a PhD (or equivalent) in
computational neuroscience, physics, or a related field and should,
ideally, have expertise in EEG or MEG and nonlinear dynamical
systems. The PhD student should have a mathematically oriented
background in computational neuroscience, physics, or a related
field but students with a cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or
related background will be considered as well.
The starting dates for both positions are flexible. Salary is based
on German Public service regulations (postdoc TV-L E13, PhD student
TV-L E13 65%). The postdoc position is initially for two years with
possible extension; the PhD position is for three years with one
year possible extension.
Interested candidates are encouraged to get in touch at their
earliest convenience. Applications are considered until 15th of
March 2013 but reviewing of the applications will start immediately.
For questions or an informal discussion about these positions please
contact Prof. Stefan Kiebel (skiebel at biomag.uni-jena.de).
The following documents should be included in the application in a
single PDF-file and sent by email to skiebel at biomag.uni-jena.de:
A cover letter including a brief description of personal
qualifications and future research interests, curriculum vitae, and
contact details of two personal references.
