The *Translational Neuromodeling Unit *(*TNU*; Director: Prof. K.E. Stephan) is a newly founded division of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). Its mission is to translate advances in computational neuroscience into diagnostic tools for psychiatry and neurology. To this end, the TNU brings together computational modelers, experimentalists and clinicians who jointly develop mathematical models of maladaptive behaviour and brain disease, and evaluate their diagnostic use in patient studies. Within a custom-designed building, the TNU is presently setting up a research clinic with a wide range of experimental facilities (EEG, TMS, tDCS, pharmacological, psychophysics and behavioural labs). For our EEG laboratories, we invite applications for a *Research Assistant (RA), 100%* The applicant's *main responsibilities* include: * recording electroencephalography (EEG) and collecting behavioral data in patients as well as healthy participants, * support of lab management (e.g., ordering consumables, equipment), organizational and administrative tasks, and preparation of experiments, * support in the recruitment of participants. *Qualifications and requirements:* * education in a relevant field (e.g., Medical Technical Assistant, or university graduate in natural sciences, engineering, psychology), * fluent German and good English, * good organizational skills, * computer skills (MS-Office and standard web applications), * ability to work independently and in a team. *Advantageous (but not required):* * experience in electroencephalography (training can be provided to the successful applicant), * programming skills (Matlab). We offer a position with an initial duration of 1 year. Further extension is possible. The salary will depend on experience and qualifications. The TNU, located in central Zurich, offers a young, collegial and highly international community, and an exciting interdisciplinary scientific environment at the intersection between computational neuroscience, neuropharmacology and psychiatry. The application, including a short letter of motivation, CV and the names and contact information of two references should be sent by email in a single pdf to tnu-jobs(a)biomed.ee.ethz.ch <mailto:tnu-jobs@biomed.ee.ethz.ch>. Shortlisted applicants will be invited for interviews. Informal inquiries can be directed to Dr. G. Stefanics (stefanics(a)biomed.ee.ethz.ch <mailto:stefanics@biomed.ee.ethz.ch>). Applications will be considered until the position has been filled. Web: http://www.translationalneuromodeling.org/open-position-for-research-assist…
