About this position

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience at the University of Bern, Switzerland, in the group of Athina Tzovara. The project focuses on EEG and auditory processing in wakefulness and sleep, with an emphasis on how neural representations of auditory information change when consciousness diminishes and under different task demands.

The research environment is interdisciplinary and collaborative, bringing together cognitive, clinical, and computational neuroscience at the Center for Experimental Neurology (ZEN) and the Institute of Computer Science. The group studies human brain function using high-density scalp EEG, intracranial EEG/ECoG, and single-unit activity, combined with machine learning and multivariate decoding approaches.

Applicants should hold a Master’s degree in neuroscience or a related discipline. Required experience includes EEG recordings and analysis and the ability to program independently in Python or R. Helpful additional experience includes signal processing, statistics, time-frequency analyses, multivariate decoding, EEG experiments, cognitive or auditory neuroscience, and sleep research.

The position offers funding and salary according to Swiss National Science Foundation regulations. Applications are reviewed on a continuous basis, and the position can start as soon as possible. To apply, send a single PDF with your CV, a brief statement of research interests, and the contact details of two referees to [email protected].

Funding details

Funding and salary are provided according to the regulations of the Swiss National Science Foundation.

What's required

Applicants should have a Masters degree in neuroscience or a related discipline. Experience with EEG recordings and analysis is required, along with the ability to independently program in Python or R. Strong advantages include signal processing and statistics (including time-frequency analyses and multivariate decoding), experience performing EEG experiments, background in cognitive or auditory neuroscience, and experience with sleep research.
