The Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society (IT'IS) is an independent non-profit research organization dedicated to improving and advancing the quality of people’s lives. The foundation’s primary activities include computational electromagnetics in complex environments, computational life and health sciences (CLaHS) applied to devices in and around the human body, and the development of medical-image-based, high-resolution computable whole-body anatomical phantoms.
We are seeking a PhD candidate in bioelectromagnetics to achieve a breakthrough in the use of electromagnetic (EM) fields for non-invasive detection of specific brain diseases. The position involves the development of novel EM models to simulate the interactions between human brain activity and induced quasi-static fields by electrodes. The models will be subsequently tested in close collaboration with research groups at the University of Zurich and the University Hospital Zurich.
