About this position

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]

• Background of the recruitment and description of the project

We welcome applicants who have strong expertise in either MRI-based functional neuroimaging or clinical neurophysiological methods, and who are motivated to integrate both approaches to advance research. We develop and apply combined cerebral, brainstem, and spinal cord fMRI together with clinical neurophysiology to elucidate the neural mechanisms of human motor and sensory control, and to translate these findings into neuromodulation-based therapeutic concepts. Experience publishing research based on analyses using MATLAB and/or Python is preferred.
