Research Associate / PhD Student position at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg in the AI Incubator research group REGAIN (Real-time explainable AI for early detection and adaptive neuromodulation in depression care).
The project sits at the intersection of AI, digital health, psychology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and clinical depression care. The PhD project focuses on the development, evaluation, and translation of adaptive mobile neurofeedback approaches for people with depression, including mobile EEG/fNIRS neurofeedback, emotion regulation, continuous monitoring, and user-centered digital interventions.
Work will involve planning and running scientific studies in inpatient, outpatient, and home settings; collaborating closely with patients and clinical staff; validating mobile neurofeedback and monitoring systems; and contributing to publications and presentations. The group collaborates with the Karl-Jaspers-Klinik, Universitätsmedizin Oldenburg, OFFIS, DFKI, and international partners.
Required background: a completed Master’s/Diplom in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, (bio-)medical engineering, or a related field; empirical research and statistics skills; experience with neurophysiological data such as EEG, fNIRS, or EMG; basic programming in Python, R, or MATLAB; very good German and good English. Experience in clinical studies, digital health, user-centered design, neurofeedback, and wearable/mobile sensing is a plus.
The position is paid at E13 TV-L, 100% scope, and is temporary for 4 years. The workplace is in Oldenburg, Germany, with a high on-site presence required. Application deadline: 2026-09-16.
