PhD Position Movement Biomarkers in Stroke Recovery
Vitznau – 100%, 3-4 years – September 2026
The Lake Lucerne Institute (LLUI) is a non-profit research and education institute in Vitznau, Switzerland, focused on developing technological solutions that improve rehabilitation outcomes and bridge theory and practice. Within the Therapy Science Lab, we are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join the CEREBRIS project and contribute to research on upper-limb markerless motion capture, synthetic data, movement classification, and outcome modelling in stroke recovery. The position offers the opportunity to help advance scalable biomechanical assessment systems for clinical and research use, with direct relevance to patient-centred rehabilitation planning.
PhD Position in Neuroscience of Body Representation and Motivation in Neurorehabilitation
Vitznau – 100%, 3 years – Summer 2026 or upon mutual agreement.
The Neuroscience of Cognition and Motivation in Rehabilitation Lab (NeuroCoRe) at LLUI is offering a PhD position in a collaborative project with the MySpace Lab at the University of Lausanne. The project explores the neuronal and behavioural correlates of motivation as well as the multisensory mechanisms underlying peripersonal space representation, with the aim of translating cognitive and computational neuroscience into innovative approaches for neurorehabilitation. We are looking for a motivated candidate with a background in cognitive or computational neuroscience who is eager to contribute to interdisciplinary research at the interface of brain, behaviour, and rehabilitation.
PhD Position in Neuroscience of Motivation in Neurorehabilitation
