Dear all, Sorry for possible cross-posting. This novel and technically changeling project needs a skilled and motivated postdoc keen to try their teeth on some very sophisticated MEG source analysis! Please spread the advert below around your colleagues/departments, in particular to any graduates looking for a job. Denmark is a fantastic place to live and work and to do great MEG research. Thanks! With best regards, Yury Professor Yury Shtyrov, MSc, DPhil, Doc Head of MEG/EEG Aarhus University / Aarhus University Hospital Denmark Postdoctoral Position: MEG and Parkinson's disease Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist post to support research into cognitive deficits in Parkinson’s disease (PD) at the Centre of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN), Department of Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University. The successful applicant will work on a research project funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research, exploring neural mechanisms of information processing in PD patients using MEG and other techniques. The postholder’s research will be centered on exploring functional deficits in PD patients with and without deep brain stimulation implants. The project is jointly carried out by the AU MEG laboratory (PI: Prof Yury Shtyrov) and Parkinson research group (PI: Prof Karen Østergaard, MD). Previous experience in using one or more of state-of-the-art human neuroimaging modalities (MEG , EEG, etc) is essential; experience with neurological patients is desirable. Eligible candidates should hold a PhD or similar degree in a relevant discipline, including (but not limited to) physiology, medicine, psychology, neuroinformatics, biomedical engineering or neuroscience. The position is to be filled as soon as possible and is available until 30 September 2019, with a possibility for extension for the total employment of 3 years. CFIN is an international multidisciplinary research centre based at Aarhus University’s Department of Clinical Medicine, Denmark. Our research groups are supported by state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience facilities including research-only 306-channel TRIUX MEG system (Elekta Neuromag), fMRI systems (Siemens TIMTrio 3T, Magnetom Skyra 3T), PET, navigated TMS, EEG, eye-tracking equipment, etc., and have well-established clinical and other collaborations. Access to clinical population is available on-site at the Aarhus University Hospital. Aarhus University provides an inspiring international research environment with top neuroscience facilities. Aarhus is a dynamic university city located on the East coast in continental Denmark and is surrounded by nature; it offers very high living standards, rich cultural and intellectual life, outdoor activities, excellent restaurant/nightlife scene etc. Additional information regarding this position can be obtained by contacting Professor Yury Shtyrov, head of MEG/EEG at CFIN.
