3 open PhD psoitions at the Neuroinformatics Lab at the Institute of
Cognitive Science, University of Osnabrück, Germany [Reminder]
The Neuroinformatics Research Group (Prof. Dr. Gordon Pipa) of the
Institute of Cognitive Science invites applications for 3 Research
Assistants (PhD student level), (Salary level E 13 TV-L 50%) to be
filled as soon as possible for a period of three years. The position
allows for further scientific qualification.
We invite applicants that are interested in research in
Neuroinformatics, with an emphasis on dynamical systems, machine
learning, virtual reality, computational linguistics and
electrophysiology. Candidates will participate in a highly international
PhD program on cognitive science (with >40 currently enrolled students)
and interdisciplinary research projects that can involve cooperation
with other disciplines of our institute. Candidates should be highly
motivated to understand the structure of neuronal coding and neuronal
representations. To study this, we involve different research strategies
that range from the development of highly sophisticated data analysis
strategies, to modelling of neuronal processes on the level of recurrent
networks.
The qualification profile of the candidates can range from a purely
mathematical neuroscientist, a dynamical systems researcher to
interdisciplinary candidates that share interest in performing
experiments with the virtual reality combined with EEG and sophisticated
machine learning-based analysis of recorded activity
(at_http://ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/ni/publications_you find an overview
of recent research topics).
Description of Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be
involved in several research projects that range from BSc to MSc
projects. The position also involves teaching Cognitive Science courses
at BSc and MSc level (2 hours/week).
Required Qualifications: Candidates are expected to have an excellent
academic degree (Master/diploma). Applicants should have an excellent
knowledge in the field of machine learning, i.e. generalized linear and
state space models, kernel methods, reservoir computing and deep
learning. Experience or a strong interest in the fields of complex
systems, computational neurosciences, dynamical systems theory and the
concepts to study these, i.e. bifurcation and stability analysis, and
delay- coupled differential equations, measurements of complexity, are
encouraged. Experience or a strong interest in experimental methods such
as EEG, and virtual reality are highly welcome. In addition, a strong
interest or experience in the estimation of causal interactions from
time series is welcome.
As a certified family-friendly institution, Osnabrück University is
committed to furthering the compatibility between work/studies and
family life. As an employer, Osnabrück University is particularly
concerned with creating equal opportunities for women and men. Women
with relevant qualifications are therefore strongly encouraged to apply
for the position. Preference will be given to women with equal
qualifications. Furthermore, qualified applicants with disabilities will
be favored.
Applications with the usual documentation, including two letters of
recommendation, should be submitted by e-mail in a single PDF file to
the Director of the Institute of Cognitive Science
(_office(a)ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de_<mailto:office@ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de>) no
later than 08.09.2014. An electronic copy should be sent to Prof. Dr.

The Cluster of Excellence BrainLinks-BrainTools
(https://www.brainlinks-braintools.uni-freiburg.de/) offers a position
as Research Group Leader to facilitate research on the human brain as a
basis for targeted intervention for recovery from stroke. The aim is to
reach a level of scientific sophistication at the end of the funding
period of BrainLinks-BrainTools that would justify a proof of concept
study for individually tailored brain stimulation to improve recovery
from stroke. The position is integrated into BrainLinks-BrainTools and
located at the Department of Neurology in Freiburg. The Department of
Neurology offers a close to unique research environment for the
endeavour to identify brain regions related to recovery from stroke.
Parallel set-ups for human and animal stroke research are established,
including imaging (advanced MRI techniques, PET) and electrophysiology
(EEG, various TMS set-ups, tDCS) and behavioural testing. A large
database to study patients examined immediately after stroke is
available with several clinical neuroscientists currently working on
projects on brain function and recovery.
We are looking for a CLINICAL NEUROSCIENTIST (MD, Biologist,
Psychologist etc.). The position is entitled as a research group (own
salary, two PhD students, consumables) and is available from January 1,
2015 until October 31, 2017.
Candidates with a background in clinical neurology will be given the
opportunity to work clinically in the Department of Neurology if
beneficial for the scientific work. Tenure can be achieved based on an
internal evaluation and would currently be available only to clinicians
willing and eligible to work as "Oberarzt" with patient care after the
funding period.
The candidate should hold a PhD or MD degree. Previous experience in
MRI-research and a strong interest in stroke research, documented by
relevant publications are essential. Clinical experience with patients
is desirable.
The University of Freiburg is an equal opportunity employer.
Applications of women are strongly encouraged. Handicapped candidates
with equivalent qualifications will be given preference.
Please submit applications before October 15^th to Prof. Dr. C. Weiller,
Department of Neurology (cornelius.weiller(a)uniklinik-freiburg.de
<mailto:cornelius.weiller@uniklinik-freiburg.de>), who may also be
contacted for further information.
A PhD position is open in the research group Multimodal Imaging in Normal and Pathological Cognition (Head: Dr. Igor Yakushev) at the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Technische Universität München (TUM), Munich, Germany.
The project is dedicated to modeling/reconstruction of cerebral networks on the basis of brain images, as obtained using PET, DTI, and fMRI. Disease-related changes in patterns of cerebral connectivity should be quantified in patients with cognitive impairment and subjects at risk.
The research group is integrated into the TUM Neuroimaging Center, which possesses a broad methodological and thematic expertise: http://www.tumnic.mri.tum.de/tumnic/index.html
The PhD student will be enrolled at the TUM graduate school, which offers a structured curriculum of courses and seminars (in English) and supports participation in conferences and international exchange: http://www.gs.tum.de/en/home/
The Dept. of Nuclear Medicine offers exciting opportunities for neuroimaging research, in an interdisciplinary environment consisting of medical physicists, radiopharmacists and clinicians, and access to state-of-the-art technology including a hybrid PET/MR scanner (Siemens Biograph mMR).
Prior experience with image analysis, Matlab programming and good statistical skills are required. A co-authorship in a scientific paper (at least in submission) is advantageous.
In case of the technical background (e.g., computer science, biomedical engineering), the student will be co-supervised by a partner department of the TUM (e.g., Informatics).
The salary/stipend is 1500-2000 EUR net / month, depending on performance of the student and availability of funds. There is no tuition fee at the TUM.
The position can commence immediately, by 1.2015 at the latest.
Interested researchers should submit their applications including CV, two recommendation letters (or names and contact details of personal references), and a brief letter of motivation to Dr. Yakushev at igor.yakushev(a)lrz.tum.de
Applications will be considered until the position has been filled.
