[Fwd: [SPM] Berlin: Six Postdocs in Deep Brain Stimulation and Recording]

FYI --------------------------------- The clinical research group „Deep Brain Stimulation: Mechanisms, Physiology and Optimization of Therapy“ granted by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation), invites applications for the following job openings: - 6 postdoctoral researchers (E13/Ä1) - Lab manager (neurophysiology lab, EEG/ LFP; E13/Ä1) - Physician specialized in movement disorders (Ä2) (Reference ID: DM.171.10) We especially encourage applications of researchers in the disciplines of medicine, natural sciences, and psychology with a strong interest in investigating deep brain stimulation. Research will be performed in 9 innovative research projects based on animal models and neurophysiological and clinical methods in humans. Research focuses on neuroplasticity, neuronal oscillations, neurocomputation, emotional processing, linguistics, brain imaging, and deep brain stimulation in Morbus Parkinson, Dystonia and Depression. The research positions are within the teams of Professor Draganski, Professor Curio, Professor Haynes, PD Klostermann, Professor Kühn, Professor Kupsch at the Charité and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience. The job profile of the lab manager (postdoc) includes organizing and executing clinical- neurophysiological examinations of patients (EEG/LFP/TMS). There will also be opportunity to carry out own research projects. Depending on qualification, wage classification will be based on tariff part 13 according to regulations of TV- Charité, or the tariff part A1/Ä2 according to the TV-Ärzte Marburger Bund – Charité regulations, respectively. The positions are full-time, for 3 years (renewal is possible). The Charité– Universitätsmedizin Berlin bases its recruitment on personal qualification, ability, and professional accomplishment. In case of equal qualification, severely handicapped applicants will be considered with priority. We also aim to increase the percentage of female research staff and therefore explicitly encourage applications of women. Given equal qualification, female applicants will, within legal boundaries, receive priority consideration. Electronic applications should be directed to the principal investigators (KFO247(a)charite.de), indicating the reference ID DM.171.10, by November 15th 2010.
