Job Id:  10797

Limited to 2 Years | Full-time with 38.5 hours/week | German salary grade E 13 TV-L | The medical faculty in collaboration with the mathematics department of the University of Münster

We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.

To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise to work within the German Research Foundation (DFG) funded project “Multi-channel transcranial current stimulation (mc-tCS): a novel approach to modulate smooth pursuit eye movement control in healthy individuals and patients with psychotic disorders” – ideally with you on board! 

The applicant will contribute to the development, evaluation and application of new EEG and MEG neuroimaging and mc-tCS simulation approaches based on realistic head volume conductor models using modern finite element methods as well as sensitivity analysis. The new methods will be applied in close collaboration with our clinical colleagues for investigating visual motion in a group of healthy subjects.

The location for this research will be the workgroup of Prof. Dr. Carsten Wolters at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) (https://www.medizin.uni-muenster.de/biomag/das-institut.html). Expected close collaborations and visits are to the partnering clinic, namely the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Lübeck (Prof. Dr. med. Rebekka Lencer; director: Prof. Dr. Stefan Borgwardt).
