Applicants are invited to apply for a PhD position in computer science at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. The funds for this fellowship are available for 6 years. There is no application deadline for this position.

Different subprojects will cover a wide range of methods and questions. PhD students will work at the intersections of multiple subprojects: (1) development and testing of recording and stimulation electrodes that can be chronically implanted (2) designing and testing of chips with neuromorphic architecture for recording brain activity (3) connectivity and network analysis on the level of brain areas, cortical layers and cell types (4) behavioral and neurophysiological characterization of a neuropsychiatric disorder animal model (5) optimize non-invasive drug delivery to the brain using focused ultrasound (6) fMRI-guided drug delivery and dosing.
Applicants should have a background in the fields mentioned above or related studies. Essential requirements are strong quantitative and analytical skills, solid knowledge of at least one programming language (such as Python, Matlab, C/C#), excellent grades and the ability to learn and employ new methods and technologies from different disciplines. A strong interest in fundamental neuroscience is expected as well as the willingness to perform animal experiments. Previous research experience in the field of neuroscience is a plus.
The starting date is fall 2019. Applications are accepted until the positions are filled. Positions are for 4-6 years. The candidate will be enrolled as PhD student at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, and the Neuroscience Center Zurich PhD program.
