University of Freiburg – Research Assistant position

We are seeking a full-time or part time research assistant to support and manage research projects at the Department of Neurology. We study how the brain works and how it recovers from damage. Clinical and neuropsychological behavioural tests (eg: language, spatial processing, praxis, spatial perception, memory) are correlated with brain anatomy and function (eg: fMRI, rsfMRI, DTI, sMRT, PET, TMS) in group studies of patients (mainly stroke, Parkinson ’s disease and migraine). In a large scale project carefully selected stroke patients (first ever stroke, single ischemic lesion) are prospectively tested during acute stage and follow-up (currently> 800 enrolled). The group is part of Freiburg Brain Imaging (FBI), an interfaculty assembly of departments interested in scientific brain imaging, strong links exist with the Bernstein Centre of computational neuroscience, the Herman Paul Centre of linguistics and the faculties of biology, psychology and informatics. Responsibilities: Within our large scale project: screening, recruitment and caring for study patients during the visit; conducting and evaluating language tests/or general behavioural tests; maintenance and further development of databases, static analysis, co-supervision of doctoral students, research assistants and interns; support in managing the project.
