The Institute for Neuromodulation and Neurotechnology at the University Hospital Tuebingen,
Germany, unites neuroscientists, engineers, computer scientists and physicians following a common
goal: To improve the lives of patients with brain disorders using state-dependent stimulation and
adaptive neurotechnology for neuromodulation of the nervous system.
We are looking for:
Group Leaders, Postdocs and PhD Students (f/m/d)
full-time and part-time positions. The positions are limited.
As a translational group, we develop novel neuromodulation tools and work closely together with
biomedical companies to gain access to innovative neurotechnology. We combine basic studies on
healthy subjects with clinical studies on patient populations, and apply the knowledge gained from
these studies to refine our treatment protocols.
Representative work from our group: Scherer et al. Neuroimage. 2020, Milosevic et al. Mov Disord.
2020, Naros et al. Cereb Cortex. 2020, Vukelić et al. Neuroimage. 2019, Ziegler et al. Brain Stimul.
2019, Guggenberger et al. Brain Stimul. 2018, Naros et al. Mov Disord. 2018, Khademi et al. Cereb
Cortex. 2018, Kraus et al. J Neurosci. 2018.
Qualifications:
- Master’s degree or PhD in the field of Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Biology, Computer
Science, Engineering, Data Science or related fields. Solid understanding of statistical data
analysis, digital signal processing and/or programming principles.
- Programming skills in Python or MATLAB and/or experience in applying statistical tools, e.g.,
machine learning for data analysis.
- Electrophysiological techniques, e.g., BCI/BMI, tDCS/tACS, TMS, VNS, NMES, DBS, M/EEG,
LFP, MER and/or EMG.
We offer:
- Access to novel brain stimulation paradigms to expand the understanding of the human brain
and develop new therapies.
- Opportunity to work with in vivo electrophysiological data from patients and healthy controls.
- Support of your work with a broad range of pre-built analysis tools and assistance in designing
your own approaches.
- Access to state-of-the-art technologies to generate reliable results.
- A team that is united by one vision: to enhance the understanding of the human brain in order
to invent and implement new and more effective therapies.
Please include in your application within one PDF file: Cover letter outlining (i) how you meet the
requirements for the position, (ii) which techniques/methods you would like to be involved in, (iii)
relevant details of your past research projects, and (iv) an explanation of how your previous
experience lends itself to your research program. (~750 words).
Curriculum vitae (including publication record: research manuscripts, journal papers, conference
contributions etc.). Names and email addresses of three professional references (e.g., current or
previous research advisors). Transcript of Records. TOEFL scores or other evidence of English and/or
German proficiency. GRE scores (optional).
We offer remuneration in accordance with TV-L (collective wage agreement for the Public Service of
the German Federal States) in addition to all the customary benefits granted to employees working in
Public Services. Severely handicapped persons with equal qualifications are given preferential
consideration. The University of Tübingen is anxious to increase its quota of female scientific staff, and
therefore emphatically requests women to apply for this position. The Administration of the University
Hospital is responsible for all employment matters. Personnel appointments will be made pursuant to
the fundamental stipulations of the legal statutes for universities in Germany.
