[Comp-neuro] Postdoc in systems neuroscience/pain research in Munich, Germany

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Department of Neurology, Technische Universität München, to work on the cerebral representation of pain by using EEG. The project will focus on the neurophysiological correlates of ongoing pain in healthy human subjects and patients suffering from chronic pain disorders. Major experimental methods include EEG time-frequency analysis, source analysis and connectivity analysis. The candidate will join a research group dedicated to the multimodal investigation of the cerebral representation of pain (http://www.neurokopfzentrum.med.tum.de/neurologie/426.html) which is part of the TUM-Neuroimaging Center (http://www.tumnic.mri.tum.de).

Applicants should have a PhD or comparable background in neuroscience, medicine, psychology, physics, engineering, or other relevant disciplines. Prior experience in EEG experimental design, data acquisition and analysis is necessary. Advanced skills for time series analysis and MATLAB programming are highly desirable.

The position is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Salary will be commensurate with the German TVöD salary scale (EG13). The position is initially available for two years, the second year contingent on satisfactory progress. Extension beyond two years may be possible. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
Candidates may contact Dr. Markus Ploner for more detailed information or directly e-mail their application (ploner@lrz.tum.de).
