Vacancy number: 30.02.09
Closing date: 1 April 2009
Job description
The Institute of Technical Medicine of the University of Twente (http://www.tnw.utwente.nl/itm/) wishes to recruit an established researcher for a Principal Investigator position at the Donders Centre (http://www.ru.nl/fcdonders/). The successful candidate will build up a multidisciplinary team that will focus on the development and application of novel methods for neuroimaging. Of particular interest are methods that will advance medical neuroscience research, for example classification approaches, physiological modeling, and measures of functional connectivity. The candidate will also participate in teaching, predominantly in neuroimaging and neurophysiology.
The position can be filled immediately, and will be based at the Donders Centre, with free access to all its research facilities, including fMRI at 1.5 T, 3 T, and 7 T, MEG, EEG and TMS.
Requirements
Minimum qualifications are a doctoral degree, work experience in a medical environment, post-doctoral training, a strong publication record, and demonstrated expertise in the acquisition and analysis of neuroimaging data.
Organization
The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour consists of the Centre for Cognition, the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging and the Centre for Neuroscience.
Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging
The mission of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging is to conduct cutting-edge fundamental research in cognitive neuroscience. Much of the rapid progress in this field is being driven by the development of complex neuro-imaging techniques for the in-vivo scanning of activity in the human brain – an area in which the Centre plays a leading role. The research themes cover central cognitive functions, such as perception, action, attention, memory, language, learning and plasticity. The Centre also aims to establish how the different brain areas coordinate their activity with very high temporal precision to enable human and animal cognition.
The Institute of Technical Medicine at the University of Twente focuses on the areas of neuroimaging, neurostimulation and modeling in neurodegenerative disease.
