Job Description

The Fries Lab at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) in Frankfurt is looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral project scientist, who is interested in developing novel approaches to human neurotherapy. Modern non-invasive and invasive electrophysiological techniques provide information about the state of the human brain with high bandwidth and temporal resolution. In addition, wearables assess many relevant physiological parameters. The project scientist will use those recordings to develop personalized neurofeedback-based approaches for neurotherapy. Initially, this will focus on healthy human subjects and non-invasive techniques (MEG and EEG). Subsequently, this can lead to the inclusion of diseased human subjects and invasive techniques (ECoG), in collaboration with clinical partners. The position is not a typical postdoctoral position, because its primary focus is on the development of therapeutic approaches. Yet another important focus will be the publication of the obtained scientific advances. The project scientist will join an existing international team with expertise in human and animal electrophysiology, and will be able to use an outstanding infrastructure. For details on the institute and the lab, see:

Requirements

The position is for three years initially
with the possibility of extension
and can start at any time in 2022 or 2023. This call will remain open until 15 September 2022. The salary will be as for a classical postdoctoral position. Candidates should have or expect a Ph.D. in neuroscience or a neuroscience-related discipline. Experience with human non-invasive or invasive electrophysiology is a plus
programming experience including Python or the willingness to learn Python is required
and the candidate should have an interest in developing and/or applying new technology for neurotherapy. Yet
the main criteria are a strong academic track record and a dedication to perform excellent brain research. Applications should include a motivation letter
a curriculum vitae
copies of university degrees
lists of university courses with obtained grades
and the names and e-mail addresses of two scientists
who can provide references (do not include reference letters). Please send your application materials
with the reference “Neurotherapy”
in electronic format (ideally in one PDF file) to: office.fries@esi-frankfurt.de
Equal opportunities and diversity are important to us. All candidates are equally welcome and encouraged to apply. The ESI offers a family-friendly work environment with affordable child-care in the immediate vicinity
