3-year postdoctoral research fellow position in multimodal EEG at Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance
We are scaling up our research into brain dynamics using electroencephalography combined with advanced Transcranial Brain Stimulation (TBS) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Our goal is to trace stimulation induced brain dynamics with high temporal and spatial resolution to develop next-generation personalized brain stimulation therapies. More specifically, we conduct state-of-the-art neuroimaging-informed brain stimulation therapy in Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Major Depressive Disorder. We are a world leading institution in both informing and reading out brain stimulation effects with EEG and fMRI.
We are looking for an experienced postdoc or research fellow, who:
- has extensive experience in EEG research and analysis
- enjoys working at the intersection of engineering, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and clinical neuroscience, and
- is eager to advance to the use of EEG in combination with TBS and fMRI
Your role:
You will join a transdisciplinary team focusing on developing and analyzing precision brain stimulation therapy by combining transcranial magnetic stimulation with neuroimaging. You will work in our state-of-the-art brain stimulation laboratories equipped with robotic transcranial brain stimulation, neuronavigation, and EEG
Responsibilities:
- Design and conduct EEG-informed precision stimulation experiments
- Acquire and analyze data and write up results for publication and dissemination
- Contribute to developing precision brain stimulation protocols using MRI and EEG read-outs
- Lead the education, methods development, and standardization of EEG research at DRCMR, focusing on developing multimodal TBS-EEG, TBS-MRI, and TBS-EEG-MRI methodologies
Essential skills & experience:
- Extensive experience with EEG including strong signal processing skills
- A PhD degree in neuroscience, biomedical/electrical engineering, clinical medicine, or related field
- A strong publication record in peer-reviewed publications
- Team-player with strong written and interpersonal communication skills
Advantageous skills & experience:
- Experience with the combination of EEG with TMS and/or MRI.
- Experience in teaching and supervision of students and technicians
Working at DRCMR: You will join the Brain Circuit Modulation & Therapy group, led by Hartwig Siebner at the DRCMR (www.drcmr.dk) based at Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with engineers, neurologists, psychologists, and interact with other groups at DRCMR.
DRCMR is a leading research center for biomedical MRI in Europe. Approximately 75 researchers from a diverse range of disciplines are currently pursuing basic and clinically applied research. The DRCMR is embedded in the Dept. for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at the Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, Copenhagen, Denmark. DRCMR has a state-of-the-art MR-research infrastructure enabling translational research, which includes a pre-clinical 7T MR scanner, six whole-body MR scanners (one 7T, four 3T and a 1.5T scanner) and a High-Performance Computer cluster. The DRCMR has pre-clinical labs, a neuropsychology laboratory, an EEG laboratory, and five laboratories for precision brain circuit stimulation. It is situated ~25mins cycle ride from central Copenhagen, a city consistently ranked one of the highest in the world for quality of life [link].
