The University of Freiburg invites applications for positions as<br>
<br>
<big><b>Junior Research Group Leaders </b></big><br>
<b>within the new Cluster of Excellence “BrainLinks-BrainTools”.</b><br>
<br>
BrainLinks-BrainTools offers young scientists a creative and
inspiring working environment in the interdisciplinary research area
where neurotechnology forms the intersection of neuroscience,
microsystems engineering, computer science, robotics, and clinical
applications.<br>
<br>
Funding is provided until October 2017 and consists of the group
leader position, two PhD student positions for up to three years, a
start-up package as well as staff support. It is expected that the
Junior Research Group Leaders will be raising financial means from
third- party funds to enlarge their respective groups.<br>
<br>
Candidates should be highly qualified junior scientists, holding a
PhD or MD with equivalent qualification, and should have an
excellent scientific track record plus at least 2 years of
postdoctoral experience in the above-mentioned research areas.
Especially welcome but not restricted to these areas are
applications from junior scientists applying experimental approaches
in animal models or humans to relevant research questions as well as
microsystems engineers dealing with questions of energy supply. We
expect that the successful candidates will establish synergistic
collaborations with groups working in the cluster and that they will
actively contribute to the aims of the cluster. The positions will
be integrated in the Faculty of Biology, Engineering, or Medicine,
depending on the chosen research program.<br>
<br>
BrainLinks-BrainTools will offer advanced training in specific areas
to actively consolidate the new group, including courses in team
management, support on obtaining further funding, mentoring from
senior scientists, and intensive interaction with other Junior
Research Group Leaders.<br>
<br>
The University is seeking to increase the amount of female employees
and one of the goals of BrainLinks-BrainTools is to promote women in
higher positions. Thus, we strongly encourage applications from
qualified female candidates.<br>
<br>
Applications should include a full CV, a list of publications and
the contact details of three referees. Additionally, we expect a
brief outline of the intended research project (max. three pages),
indicating the main research area and impact on
BrainLinks-BrainTools’ main goals as part of the application. The
outline should also refer to possibilities for collaborations within
the Cluster of Excellence.<br>

research proposal that will be reviewed by an evaluation board
consisting of members of BrainLinks-BrainTools and external experts.<br>
