Small fiber neuropathy patients experience pain symptoms ranging from aching to burning pain. The mechanisms for generating this pathology are largely unknown, but altered excitability in peripheral nerve fibers has been detected as a probable cause. Our group has previously developed computational models of peripheral nerve endings. In this Ph.D. project, these models will be further developed to increase the understanding of excitability alterations occurring in small fiber neuropathy patients. We work with cutting-edge research topics with a high potential to positively impact society. We offer excellent conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

- A world-leading, international research environment with state-of-the-art equipment
- Opportunity to work in the highly interdisciplinary and exciting field of computational neuroscience and collaborating with neuroscientists, biologists and engineers
- Flexible working arrangements e.g. working from home

We are looking for a doctoral researcher who will explore and implement in-silico models of excitable membranes of peripheral nerve fibers.

The researcher will:

- Develop in-silico models of excitable membranes
- Design electrodes for probing the peripheral nerve system
- Interact with cross-disciplinary experts (e.g. Neuroscientists and Biologists)

**Profile**
- Master’s degree in biophysical engineering, computer engineering, computer science or related fields

Strong English (Level C1) skills will be required for the international working environment
- Strong programming skills in Python and MATLAB
- Deisirable:

- Strong Germany (Level B2) skills is a plus
- Programming skills in NEURON and COMSOL
