Descripción de la vacante

Maastricht University in Maastricht invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to predict brain stimulation effects via network dynamics. You will develop a computational framework combining latent-state estimation, dynamic causal modelling, and network control theory, and validate it with EEG–tACS and SEEG data.

You will publish in high-impact journals, present at international conferences, and release open-source code, collaborating across two groups and guiding MSc students.

Formación

• PhD in computational neuroscience or biomedical engineering or related field.
• Excellent programming skills (Python or MATLAB) with reproducible code.
• Experience with neural time-series data (EEG/SEEG/MEG).
• Knowledge of DCM, network control theory or whole-brain modelling is a plus.
• Strong mathematical skills: linear algebra, dynamical systems, statistics; control/state-space concepts helpful.
• Good English communication and ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and validate a computational framework linking latent-state estimation, DCM and network control theory.
• Test the framework in simulations with known ground truth and real EEG/SEEG datasets (EEG–tACS, SEEG in epilepsy).
• Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences.
• Release the framework as open-source code and contribute to grant applications.
• Collaborate with clinicians and neuroscientists and supervise MSc students.
