Job Description:

70% for three years or 50% for four years (on request) | Salary according to TV-L E13 | Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosognalanalysis

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 at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosognalanalysis – ideally with you on board!

The 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” (funding period from 2025 to 2028) is German Research Foundation (DFG) funded.

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 successful applicant holds a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant academic area such as applied mathematics, computer science, physics, biomedical or electrical engineering or similar disciplines. Good programming expertise (Matlab, C++, Python or equivalent) and experience with the Linux operating system is expected, because large software toolboxes are used and further developed. The working language at the institute is English. Experience with targeted and optimized brain stimulation and with the measurement and analysis of brain signals is advantageous, but not essential. The applicant’s merits are assessed on the basis of the quality of Master’s level studies and thesis, previous experience with neuroimaging, numerical mathematics, optimization, inverse problems, software development, motivation and research interests.

The location for this research will be the workgroup of Prof. Dr. Carsten Wolters at the Institute for Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis (IBB) (. 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).

The application should include a statement of research interests and reasons for applying to the project, a curriculum vitae (max. 5 pages) composed according to good scientific practice, a certificate of Master’s degree, copy of master’s thesis and grades of Master’s level studies, letter’s of support from two referees and a proof of proficiency in English.

For inquiries, please contact: Prof. Dr. Carsten Wolters, T 0251 83-56904

Apply now via our career portal until 16.07.2025.
