PhD Stipend in Neural Oscillations and Architectural Rhythms

At the Technical Faculty of IT and Design, Department of Architecture, Design, and Media Technology, a PhD stipend is available within the study programme "Media, Architecture and Design". The stipend is open for appointment from 1 October 2024 or soon thereafter for a period of three years. The Department has a goal of developing an innovative cluster of engineering-based environments for education and research which integrate creativity, engineering, and technology within the disciplines of architecture, urban design, industrial design, digital design, and interactive media.

Job Description
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented candidate for a PhD position as part of our research group "Brain, Body, Architecture Research". This research group, led by Assistant Professor Zakaria Djebbara, focuses on how the built environment influences the human brain and body based on cognitive (neuro-)science. The PhD will investigate the relationship between neural rhythms and the built environment, focusing on short-term memory and selective attention. This project will explore how interacting with built rhythms contributes to cognitive processes and quality of life through the built environment. The research will utilize behavioral experiments and cognitive neuroscience methods, including Mobile Brain/Body Imaging techniques and Virtual/Augmented Reality.

Qualification Requirements

  • A master's degree in Architecture, Urban Design, (Neuro-) Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, or related fields.
  • Personal suitability and motivation for the position.

In assessing applications, emphasis will be placed on:

  • Experience designing and running laboratory experiments independently, particularly in human behavior, cognition, and environmental psychology.
  • Experience with basic statistics, such as linear regression and post-hoc contrasts.
  • The applicant's ability to complete the research training.
  • Demonstrated language skills in spoken and written English suitable for scientific communication.

Preferably, you have:

  • Experience with Matlab (EEGLAB) and/or Python (MNE).
  • Skills in C# or experience in developing and running experiments in Virtual and/or Augmented Reality (XR).

The application must contain:

  • A motivation letter.
  • Updated curriculum vitae.
  • Copy of educational degrees.

We prioritize applicants who submit a short "project description" (2-5 pages) suggesting a PhD project within the theme mentioned above, including research questions, study design, methods, theories, and a time schedule. Recommendation letters may also be enclosed.

For further information, contact Assistant Professor Zakaria Djebbara, Department of Architecture, Design, and Media Technology, phone: +459940 3524, email:

PhD stipends are allocated to individuals holding a Master's degree and are normally for a period of 3 years. The candidate must be enrolled as a PhD student at the Technical Doctoral School of IT and Design in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 1039 of August 27, 2013 on the PhD Programme at the Universities.

Procedure
Shortlisting will be applied. After the application deadline, the head of department and the assessment committee will select candidates for assessment. All applicants will be informed of their status.
