Join our Team!
Students
We welcome students who are interested in experimental and theoretical analyses of pathological oscillations in neurodegeneration and their modulation with neurostimulation, as well as explorations of dynamical models and model fitting.
You may join us for:
- master's theses,
- doctoral theses,
- and internships.
Due to the group's interdisciplinary orientation, we are open to students from different fields:
- Medicine,
- Computer Science,
- Physics,
- Mathematics,
- Neuroscience,
- and related fields (such as Data Science).
We currently offer thesis supervision of students located at Ruhr University Bochum, TU Dortmund (Data Science), and University of Bonn. Students from other universities should gather information about the formalities of executing their thesis at another university/faculty. For internships or student projects, we are open for students from all universities.
Currently available bachelor/ master theses and internships
Currently available topics are listed on my institutional website of Ruhr University Bochum. If you are interested, you can apply via e-mail (mail -ατ- computationalneurology.com) with your CV, why you selected a specific project from available topics, a short statement of motivation which should outline how your experience enables you to pursue the project, and your availability (preferred starting date/duration/hours per week available for projects).
Medical doctoral (MD) theses
We offer supervision of MD theses, providing medical students with unique computational or experimental (neurostimulation) skills. Our projects are usually either experimental (neurostimulation) or computational (modeling, data science). To successfully pursue a project, we require at least one "Freisemester" to focus on the doctoral thesis.
Academic Staff (PhD and postdoctoral positions)
Currently, we do not have any funded open positions. There is a yearly call for DAAD-funded PhD scholarships via the International Graduate School ofr Neurscience at Ruhr-University Bochum (always in Autumn), which would give you an opportunity to work with me, see here for more details on RUB PhD scholarships. In general, happy to supervise PhD and postdoctoral projects on computational neuroscience topics given an appropriate funding source, e.g., through a scholarship. If you’re interested in applying for a scholarship please send me a brief sketch of your research proposal.
