Posted January 16, 2007: Vacancy at Biomedical Signals and SystemsThe University of Twente is an enterprising research-oriented university, established in Enschede, The Netherlands. It currently has more than 7000 students and 2700 staff. As a young and innovative institute, the UT is internationally respected in areas ranging from public policy studies and applied physics to biomedical technology. The UT is the Netherlands only campus university (140 hectares) and has many sports and cultural facilities. Recently, the Institute for Technical Medicine is initiated for development of a new interdisciplinary research program linking the field of basic science and technology with clinical practice in medicine. This program aims to support the ever increasing role of technology in medical practice, by development of the interface between clinical practice and possibilities offered by a host of newly developed techniques that are on the verge of entering the clinic. The research program of the Biomedical Signals and Systems (BSS) group is focused on information exchange with and information processing within the neural system. The development of neurotechnological methods for selective stimulation and sensing is combined with mathematical analysis and simulation of neural systems underlying sensomotorical functions and pain processing. Collaboration with industry and clinical partners exists in several projects. The BSS group is closely involved in the educational programs for Biomedical Engineering (BMT) and Technical Medicine (TG). Nociceppt is a consortium for research and healthcare innovation towards improved diagnostics, treatment and prevention of chronic pain. The consortium consists of researchers and clinicians from the University of Twente, Roessingh Research and Development and the stRadboud University Medical Center. The primary strategy aims at characterization of the transition from acute to chronic pain states by development of neurotechnological observation and modulation methods which advance the present clinical practice. Within the contribution of the Institute for Technical Medicine and the BSS group to Nociceppt a PhD position is available on Neurotechnological observation of chronifying pain (Combined e-QST/EP methods for improved observation of chronifying pain) Problem statement Electrical Quantitative Sensory Testing (e-QST) is a method for measuring pain thresholds using electrical stimulation. The thresholds provide information about possible dysfunction of the pain system. Clinical studies demonstrate that e-QST thresholds change due to surgery and during recovery. Furthermore, the results suggest that these changes have predictive value for development of chronic pain. However, pain thresholds are subjective measures (what exactly is a painful sensation?) and the currently applied stimulation technique has only limited selectivity towards the pain system. The sensitivity and specificity of e-QST with respect to changes in the pain system are therefore suboptimal. As a consequence, pain thresholds can be compared between groups of patients, but can not be interpreted for individual diagnostics. Job description As a PhD student, you will further develop the e-QST method in collaboration with anesthesiologists from the RUMC. You will improve the selectivity of the electrical contact with the pain system by optimising the stimulation electrode and stimulus parameters. Additionally, you extend the observation of the pain system by combining e-QST with measurements of pain related cortical activity using Evoked Potentials (EPs). In clinical experiments, you evaluate the measuring properties of thresholds and EP results with respect to the functionality of the pain system. You will present your results on scientific conferences and in a final thesis. Qualifications You are a recently graduated (MSc) biomedical engineer or physics / electrical engineer with biomedical specialization and have demonstrated interest in development of neurotechnological solutions for clinical applications. Furthermore, you have expertise in (selective) electrical stimulation of nerve fibers and electrophysiological measurements like EEG and EP with associated signal processing. You already have experience in conducting clinical studies and have demonstrated organizational skills. Finally, you can work accurately and independently, you are a team player and have excellent communication skills, particularly in written and spoken English. Our offer We offer a position in an inspiring and challenging environment in which research and education are closely related. As a PhD candidate you will be appointed in a fulltime position for a total period of maximally four years. Based on an assessment after one year, your appointment will be extended with another three years. Your salary is in accordance with the Collective Employment Agreement of the Dutch universities. The gross monthly salary for a PhD increases from € 1.933 in the first year to € 2.472 in the fourth year. In addition we offer a broad package of fringe benefits.
