PhD Position on Sleep, Stress and Arousal in Humans

A World-Class Research Environment at the Intersection of Sleep, Physiology and Health Technology

The Neural Control of Movement Lab at ETH Zurich, Department of Health Sciences and Technology, invites exceptional candidates to apply for a PhD position focused on the physiological links between sleep, stress, arousal and health in humans. The project combines mechanistic laboratory experiments with real-world, home-based and decentralized phenotyping, using multimodal physiological recordings, mobile health technologies and computational analysis pipelines.

The Neural Control of Movement Lab focuses on understanding how the brain controls behavior and on developing non-invasive interfaces to measure and modulate brain function during wake and sleep. Within this environment, the PhD student will contribute to a translational research program that aims to understand how daily stress and arousal st...
