Postdoc Position (E13) in imaging neuroscience of learning and memory.
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Research
Associate to work at the Institute of Systems Neuroscience at the
University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (head Prof. Büchel). The
position is located in the research group “Memory and Decision Making”
headed by Tobias Sommer
(http://www.uke.de/institute/systemische-neurowissenschaften/index_68339.php)
and is funded by a collaborative grant with Nico Bunzeck.
The project will investigate the functional significance of ventral
striatal activity during recognition memory using fMRI and univariate as
well as multivariate but also pharmacological approaches.
The position is funded by the German research foundation (DFG) and is
initially available for 2 years with a possible extension. Salary will
be according to German Public service regulations (E13).
Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in psychology, biology,
neuroscience or a related field. Furthermore, they should be familiar
with fMRI and have a strong background in neuroscience of learning and
memory. Programming skills (preferably Matlab) are advantageous.
The Institute of Systems Neuroscience provides an excellent
multidisciplinary and interactive neuroimaging environment with its own
physics, psychology and clinical neuroscience groups as well as a
research dedicated 3T MR scanner.
The position is available immediately and applications will be
considered until the position is filled. Candidates should submit a CV,
names of two references and a brief statement of research interests by
e-mail to Dr. Tobias Sommer at tsommer(a)uke.de <mailto:tsommer@uke.de>
For questions or informal inquiries about the position please contact me
via email: tsommer(a)uke.de <mailto:tsommer@uke.de>

The collaborative research center DFG-SFB-TR58 “Fear, Anxiety, Anxiety
Disorders” (Münster, Würzburg, Hamburg) is opening a 3.5-year position
for a PhD student (E13, starting January or later) to work on the
genetic and neural mechanisms of context conditioning and extinction.
The project will be conducted at the Institute for Systems Neuroscience
at University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (supervisors: C. Büchel,
R. Kalisch) in close collaboration with the Unit for Molecular
Psychiatry in Würzburg (supervisor: A. Reif). Methods used are fMRI,
psychophysiology, behavioral and personality testing, and genetics.
The position offers a great opportunity to work in a young, dynamic
research team within one of Germany’s top systems neuroscience sites and
to integrate into the German fear and anxiety research community. The
SFB and local graduate programs offer attractive interdisciplinary
training curricula.
Applicants should have a graduation in neuroscience, cognitive science,
psychology, biology or related subjects.
