Join NTUS Lab (Neuroimaging and Therapeutic Ultrasound) at HM CINAC, Hospital Universitario HM Puerta del Sur, Móstoles (Madrid, Spain). Full-time, on-site, 2-year contract.

About us

NTUS Lab (ntus-lab.org) is part of HM CINAC, a reference center in focused ultrasound for movement disorders since 2018: first subthalamotomy trial in Parkinson's disease (NEJM, Lancet Neurology), close to 500 thalamotomies for essential tremor and pioneering work on blood-brain barrier opening. We are now extending this work to low-intensity, reversible ultrasound neuromodulation.

The project

You will join two ongoing projects on low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound in Parkinson's disease, one with the MR-guided Exablate Neuro system (Insightec) and one with the neuronavigated NeuroFUS system (Brainbox). Both share a common validation framework based on EEG, TMS and behavior.

What you will do
- Prepare and run experimental sessions with patients and healthy volunteers, including sham protocols
- Acquire TMS motor evoked potentials, EEG, EMG and accelerometry, and run behavioral tasks




- Process and analyze signals (MEP extraction, spectral analysis) in Python and MATLAB
- Support acoustic planning and dosimetry: hydrophone calibration, k-Wave simulations and skull models from MRI
- Keep data organized, traceable and of high quality across both projects
- Take part in lab meetings, journal clubs and scientific communications

What we offer
- 2-year full-time contract, gross salary approx. 27,500 € per year
- A structured training plan with close supervision and growing autonomy
- State-of-the-art equipment: Exablate Neuro, NeuroFUS with Brainsight neuronavigation, Magstim TMS, EEG, 3T PET-MR, GPU servers
- A multidisciplinary team of engineers, physicists, neurologists, neurophysiologists and neurosurgeons
- A strong springboard toward a PhD or a career in neurotechnology

Eligibility requirements (mandatory)
- University degree (Bachelor/Grado, Licenciatura or Engineering)
