The Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research at the Ludwig Maximilian
University of Munich:
Research Fellow/Postdoc:
Functional MRI & EEG Neuroimaging in Dementia
RESEARCH FOCUS and RESPONSIBILITIES:
The research fellow/postdoc will work on multimodal imaging of human
brain changes in early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and cerebrovascular
disease. The funded neuroscience research project headed by Prof. Dr.
Michael Ewers has a strong focus on the combined acquisition of
functional MRI and high-density EEG along with other neuroimaging
modalities to study brain changes in humans. The establishment of the
fMRI-EEG task-related paradigm and statistical analysis will be a key
part of the responsibilities of research position. The fellow will work
in a dynamically growing neuroimaging team and is encouraged to bring in
own research ideas.
REQUIREMENTS:
Research experience in EEG or functional MRI in humans is mandatory. The
candidate should have a strong interest in either of those image
modalities. Solid knowledge of programming and statistics is a plus.
Familiarity with biological or clinical aspects of Alzheimer’s disease
is not a prerequisite.
An enthusiastic, reliable and independent work style will provide a good
fit for our team.
OFFER:
Our institute offers an excellent multidisciplinary environment and
state-of-the-art multimodal neuroimaging equipment (3T MRI, high-density
fMRI compatible EEG, molecular PET). The research fellow will have
clearly defined task definitions, access to all data sets of the
research project, and advanced technical support to facilitate efficient
work conditions. The fellow will work in a friendly, dynamic, and highly
productive lab
