PhD Position in Cognitive Neuroscience, Human EEG, and Adaptive Neurotechnology Technische Universität Dresden in Germany

The Cognitive Neurophysiology Lab is inviting applications for a PhD position in cognitive neuroscience, human EEG, and adaptive neurotechnology.

The project focuses on how neural oscillations, information flow, and transient EEG brain states support cognitive control and adaptive behaviour. Depending on the candidate’s interests, the work may also include translational topics such as ADHD, neurofeedback, and adaptive neuromodulation.

The position is associated with Christian Beste, Professor for Cognitive Neurophysiology, with affiliations listed as Technische Universität Dresden and Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The post indicates a start date of 1 November 2026, a 1-year contract, and the possibility of longer-term collaboration.

Funding is stated as 65% TV-L E13, subject to eligibility. Applicants should have a relevant Master’s degree, a strong interest in EEG and human cognition, and programming skills or motivation to develop them.

This is a student-oriented research opening for candidates interested in neuroscience, cognitive control, EEG analysis, and neurotechnology. No explicit application deadline is mentioned in the post.
