We are offering a fully-funded 3-year PhD position in cognitive and clinical neuroscience at the German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders at the Klinikum Grosshadern, LMU Munich. This unit is an interdisciplinary integrated research and treatment centre focusing on spatial orientation, ocular motor disorders, gait and posture, and vertigo and dizziness (see http://www.klinikum.uni-muenchen.de/Deutsches-Schwindelzentrum-IFB-LMU/en/index.html). Our new group (PI: Prof Paul C Taylor, starting April 1st) investigates disorders of spatial orientation and orienting, and how multisensory information (e.g. from visual and vestibular systems) is integrated in the representation of space and the control of attention and action. This project studies both normal and patient populations using brain stimulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and cutting-edge developments in combined online TMS-EEG to explore functional connectivity. In addition other methods of brain stimulation and imaging are available.
The position can start from April 1st 2015 at the earliest, remaining open until a suitable candidate is found. Salary is calculated according to the collective agreement for public service employees (Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst - TVöD-Bund).
To apply, please email a short cover letter (expressing research interests and briefly describing a recent research project if applicable), a complete CV, and contact information for at least two references, as a single pdf file. Applications or requests for more information should be sent via the"APPLY" button.
