*/One PhD or Postdoc position, ULB-Neuroscience
Institute, Brussels,
Belgium./*
The Laboratory of CerebralFunctional Mapping ("Laboratoire de
Cartographie fonctionnelle du Cerveau, LCFC), ULB-Neuroscience
Institute, Free University of Brussels (Université libre de
Bruxelles), is seeking for a talented postdoc.
Applications are invited for a PhD or a Postdoc position in the field
of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density
electroencephalography (hdEEG). The successful candidate will work on
acquiring novel data using simultaneous MEG and hdEEG, developing and
applying methods to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics and
electrophysiological bases of resting state networks, with specific
emphasis on the default mode network (DMN). The successful candidate
will contribute to the investigation of the effect of different
experimental conditions on stationary and non-stationary resting state
functional connectivity.
The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary team
composed of physicists, engineers, neuropsychologists and
neurologists. The Laboratory of CerebralFunctional Mapping is a
multimodal functional neuroimaging platform comprising a whole-scalp
MEG (Elekta Vectorview), a MEG-compatible hdEEG (Geodesic), a 3T MRI,
a MRI-compatible EEG (32 electrodes) and a PET. The laboratory is
located at the Erasme hospital, the academic hospital of the Free
University of Brussels (Université libre de Bruxelles, ULB). The
hospital is located at the border of Brussels with easy access by
public transports. Brussels is located at the center of Europe. It is
multicultural city that provides a high-degree of quality of life with
vibrant cultural and social events.
Candidates must have a master degree (Bologna process) in Physics,
Engineering, Mathematics or appropriately related discipline. For PhD
candidate, programming skills in Matlab are a plus, and a previous
experience in MEG/EEG experiments and signal processing is desirable
but not required. For postdoc candidates, a PhD in a relevant
disciplines is absolutely required. They must have extensive
theoretical and practical knowledge of MEG/EEG signal processing using
Matlab. Preliminary experience in the field of resting state activity
is desirable but not required.
This position will be available from 5th January 2015 or as soon as
possible thereafter, for four years (PhD) or three years
(Postdoc). Salary will be commensurate with experience and
qualifications: around 1.700-1800 € per month without tax for PhD,
around 2.000-2.250 € without tax for a Postdoc.
