We are hiring you to research adaptive nervous system stimulation
We are hiring!
We recently won a couple of grants in the field of intelligent therapeutic systems, and are now looking forward to fill positions with doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows, clinician scientists, software engineers, research assistants and study nurses.
Funding
All positions are linked to the duration of the project, i.e. they are funded for up to three-years. All salaries are determined according to the German public service pay scale (TV-L).
About us
Our research group at the University Hospital Tübingen unites biomedical engineers, computer scientists, neuroscientists and physicians following a clear goal: To improve the life of patients suffering from chronic disorders using adaptive stimulation of the nervous system. To achieve this goal, we combine online-analysis of electrophysiology (e.g. EEG, LFP), non-invasive (tCS, tMS, NMES) and invasive (DBS) stimulation.
We are a translational group. That means, we are working closely together with biomedical companies to gain access to new tools, we combine basic studies on healthy subjects with clinical studies on patient populations, and apply the knowledge gained from these studies to develop and refine these new tools.
About the projects
The projects we are hiring for include the research of stimulation effects at the cortical, subcortical and corticospinal level as well as the modulation of these effects by the brain-state. We are looking to fill positions for the following projects:
- Deep brain stimulation with segmented leads for Parkinson’s Disorder
- Individualized brain modulation with adaptive transcranial stimulation
- Brain-state dependent small-fiber-matrix-stimulation for pain treatment
- Targeted vagus nerve stimulation via the ear to modulate the autonomous nervous system
- Sleep-related transcranial stimulation for ADHD treatment
- Interactive neuro-robotics for neurorehabiltiation
About you
We are seeking qualified applicants for research project on the adaptive stimulation of the nervous system using peripheral and/or cortical stimulation. Applicants are expected to allocate their time between individual research projects and collaborative departmental work.
