PhD student position in the field of “Spinal cord stimulation and neural control of human locomotion”
We invite applications from highly qualified and motivated students for a position as a PhD fellow at the Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, Medical University of Vienna.
The focus of the project is on investigating cutting-edge neuromodulation technologies for improving motor function in individuals with motor disorders such as spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis and on elucidating the role of the spinal cord in the neural control of movement. The research combines transdisciplinary knowledge and skills, integrating neurostimulation, physiology, neuroscience, and computer sciences. The PhD student will be embedded in a highly collaborative research environment and cooperate with leading clinical research and rehabilitation centers in Austria and abroad.
The project will be under the supervision of Dr. Ursula Hofstötter and is co-funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). The salary is according to the standards for PhD students as defined by the FWF.
Work activities will include, but are not limited to, participating and conducting studies employing neurostimulation and recordings of evoked activities in individuals with intact central nervous system as well as motor dysfunctions, data analysis and interpretation, scientific publications, and assisting in the overall project management.
Applicants should hold a master’s degree in natural/technical sciences, medicine, or a related discipline. Previous experience in biomedical engineering, neurosciences, data analysis and statistics (Matlab, SPSS, and/or similar tools) is advantageous. We are looking for highly motivated students who are enthusiastic about working with patients with motor dysfunctions and investigating fundamental neurophysiological questions with applications to important clinical problems.
Your full application includes your CV and should be submitted via email to Ursula Hofstötter
