The Neural Control of Movement Laboratory (NCM) in the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST) of ETH Zurich has an opening for a fully funded
PhD position in Human System’s Neuroscience
The goal of this project
will be to gain better understanding of the neural basis of movement
observation (or “motor resonance”) in humans. The applicant will
primarily use eye tracking, brain stimulation (TMS) and brain imaging
techniques (EEG, fMRI).
ETH offers an exciting, multidisciplinary research environment with a vibrant neuroscience community. Furthermore, there is access to excellent technical facilities including a research-dedicated 3T MR scanner and laboratories for electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and transcranial direct current stimulations (tDCS).
Employment is expected to begin in the second half of 2015 and international applicants are welcome.
