Zurich, Switzerland

IT'IS Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society (IT'IS),

We are seeking a PhD candidate in bioelectromagnetics to achieve a breakthrough in the use of electromagnetic (EM) fields for non-invasive detection of specific brain diseases. The position involves the development of novel EM models to simulate the interactions between human brain activity and induced quasi-static fields by electrodes. The models will be subsequently tested in close collaboration with research groups at the University of Zurich and the University Hospital Zurich.

As soon as possible.

For further information or to discuss the scope of this position, please contact Prof. Dr. Niels Kuster .
