Neuroscience (EuSNN).<br>
<br>
About the project: EuSNN will integrate leading European groups in<br>
network neuroscience and deliver training on knowledge and skills that<br>
enable students to pursue a successful career in this emerging field.<br>
euSNN will combine and train all approaches relevant for investigation<br>
of brain networks, including (f)MRI, M/EEG, in-vivo recordings,<br>
analysis, modelling, network modulation with optogenetics or<br>
non-invasive neurostimulation and studies on network changes in<br>
neurological disorders. Be part of it.<br>
<br>
The tendered position is funded by a Marie Curie grant, in which we<br>
participate together with more than 10 top international Universities.<br>
(Secondments at several partner laboratories are part of the training.)<br>
The partner SciCovery will work on online assessment of stroke and PD<br>
patients with altered network dynamics and, thus, affected cognitive<br>
capacities, enables us to better understand the effects found in the lab<br>
and generalize them to the overall population. For this purpose the<br>
early stage researcher (ESR) will further develop the Labvanced platform<br>
(<a href="https://www.labvanced.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.labvanced.com</a>) , which is one of the most advanced internet<br>
systems for online research (web-based experiments). Labvanced offers<br>
researchers the possibility to create, share and record complex online<br>
experiments using an easy to use graphical interface. On top of this, we<br>
offer brand new features using latest web technologies, such as webcam<br>
based eyetracking, audio recordings, real time interaction for multiple<br>
participants. Labvanced is now used by many research institutes world-wide.<br>
<br>
About the job: This exciting job offer combines web development,<br>
scientific research and interaction with several other research groups,<br>
data analysis, and the experience of working in a startup environment.<br>
Funding is provided by the EU’s Marie Curie (Horizon 2020) program for 3<br>
years with a full time contract. This position is tendered in<br>
collaboration with the research group of Prof. Peter König at the<br>
Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Osnabrück (Germany).<br>
<br>
Skills and Qualifications:<br>
Excellent MSc degree in Cognitive Science, Computer Science,<br>
Computational Neuroscience or related fields.<br>
Profound knowledge of at least one higher level programming language<br>
(e.g. Javascript, Python, Java).<br>
Interest in creating, conducting, and analyzing behavioral experiments.<br>
Be able to work independently in an organized and reliable manner.<br>
Experience with git workflows.<br>
English (Intermediate level or above) is required, both verbal and<br>
in writing.<br>
Please note the eligibility criteria for researchers in Marie<br>
Sklodowska-Curie ITNs: They must be in the first four years of his/her<br>
research career, not have a doctoral degree, and not have resided in the<br>
country of the recruiting beneficiary (i.e. Germany) for more than 12<br>
months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date.<br>
<br>
Bonus Points:<br>
Interest to work in a startup environment and interaction within an<br>
international collaboration, including performing secondments at partner<br>
sites.<br>
Familiarity with JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, Node.js. or databases.<br>
Proficient understanding of cross-browser and cross-platform<br>
(Windows, Linux, Android) compatibility issues.<br>
Experience with experimental designs and data analysis<br>
Interest to create online assessment tools for stroke and PD patients.<br>
Interested in community management and supporting other researchers<br>
on our platform.<br>
<br>
Key Responsibilities:<br>
Develop and improve features on the Labvanced platform.<br>
Implement a test battery / online assessment capabilities for stroke<br>
and PD patients to assess affected cognitive capacities.<br>
Monitoring during the data acquisition process and support for<br>
longitudinal studies on mobile systems.<br>
Collaborate with scientific partners of the Marie Curie consortium<br>
for the validation of the test battery and for the data analysis.<br>
Analyze the recorded behavioral data in a professional scientific way.<br>
Write up concise and meaningful summaries / presentations as well as<br>
prepare documents for peer-reviewed publications.<br>
<br>
What we offer:<br>
<br>
Obtain a PhD in Cognitive Science from the University of Osnabrück<br>
while working in an IT-startup!<br>
Opportunities for both local and international travel and present<br>
