Lausanne, Schweiz École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL Vollzeit

EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research, and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 18,500 people, including over 14,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.

Post-doc researcher in Clinical Neuroengineering

The Laboratory of Clinical Neuroengineering, directed by Friedhelm Hummel, has an open position for a Post-Doc researcher on the topic of noninvasive deep brain stimulation to address aspects of freezing of gait in Parkinson’s in a SNSF-funded international Lead Agency project.

The overarching goal of the project Multimodal approach for the detection, prediction, and management of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease (MAPP) funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) together with Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de S.Paulo (FAPESP) with the following PIs: Prof. Hummel (EPFL), Prof. Micera (EPFL), Prof. Shokur (University Hospital of Lausanne, CHUV), and Prof. Boari Coelho (Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC)) is to design and test a closed-loop wearable system for neuromodulation to assist in mitigating the freezing in PD patients.

Profile

The specific part of the project seeks to develop a transformative, non-invasive deep brain stimulation approach, using tTIS, to target pathological patterns of neural activity in the basal ganglia of PD. FoG events have been associated with an abnormally strong low beta activity (12-15 Hz) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). tTIS is a disruptive non-invasive brain stimulation approach that allows targeting deep brain regions that could previously not be stimulated selectively with conventional non-invasive approaches. We have pioneered tTIS for human applications to target the hippocampus and striatum. tTIS is safe, well tolerated, and has the potential to reduce neural oscillations in deep brain regions. Hence, tTIS appears as a particularly promising opportunity to target pathological neural activity in the basal ganglia and ultimately prevent the occurrence of FoG. The personalized nature of these technologies can represent a significant advancement, tailoring interventions to individual patient needs and responses.

To address these aspects, the ideal candidate should have:

  • PhD (or equivalent degree) in neuroscience, medicine, psychology, computer science, or engineering, or MD degree
  • Strong motivation
  • Strong neuromodulation background, especially non-invasive brain stimulation
  • Strong neuroimaging background, especially in M/EEG
  • Previous research experience in human experimental translational neuroscience is a plus.
We offer
  • A dynamic, interdisciplinary, and international team of very motivated people
  • A stimulating working environment in one of the most dynamic scientific institutions in Europe
  • Access to cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art resources to perform research

Please submit your application through the online platform.
