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.

Fwd: Job-offer in Freiburg, Germany: Research Group leader MRI of stroke recovery
by Gary Green 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

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.
