  • Pathological neuronal dynamics in Neurological (Stroke, Parkinson's Disease)
  • and Psychiatric (Schizophrenia, Depression) disorders 

2) Transcranial magnetic stimulation in combination with EEG:

  • motor mapping
  • motor control
  • neuromodulation

3) Development of the novel analytic and recording techniques for EEG/MEG
4) Brain Computer Interface and Neurofeedback

The job involves:

  • working under the direct supervision of Prof. Vadim Nikulin.

Requirements:

  • a PhD from an international research university in such fields as: neuroscience, physiology, medicine, psychology, physics or computer science
  • Previous experience with neuroimaging methods (e.g. EEG, MEG or TMS) is an advantage
  • demonstrated ability and high motivation to conduct high-quality research publishable in international peer-reviewed journals
  • ability to work in a team,
