Fwd: Post-doc position in Düsseldorf / Jülich
by Gary Green 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

The Cognitive Neuroscience Group at the Institute of Clinical Neuroscience, Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf headed by Prof. Simon Eickhoff, is looking to fill a post-doctoral position (E13/TVL). The position is available immediately and initial funding is secured for 2 years with the possibility of extension. Together with the Brain Network Modelling Group at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1), Research Center Jülich, we are dedicated to the multi-modal analysis of brain structure, function and connectivity. To this end, we employ functional and structural MRI (with research dedicated 3T, 4T and 9.4T scanners available), database-driven modeling and meta-analyses as well as analyses of structural (diffusion-weighted imaging), functional (resting-state analysis and co-activation modeling) and effective (Dynamic Causal Modeling) connectivity analyses. A key focus of our current work is the integration of multiple modalities, in particular the use of functional imaging meta-analyses as a priori information for resting-state connectivity analyses and DTI tractography. Further information and key publications may be found at: http://www.neurosciences-duesseldorf.de/principal-investigators-and-junior-… http://www.fz-juelich.de/inm/inm-1/EN/Forschung/Brain_Network_Modeling/Brai… <http://www.fz-juelich.de/inm/inm-1/EN/Forschung/Brain_Network_Modeling/Brai…> The recruited post-doc will perform cutting-edge research in the field of multi-modal connectivity analyses including the development, refinement and application of new analysis approaches. Moreover, he/she is encouraged to develop and sharpen a scientific profile in one of the topics covered by our group (inter-individual variability and aging, social cognition, executive control, pathophysiology of depression, schizophrenia or Parkinson’s). In doing so, the successful applicant will work in a dynamic team of young investigators and supervise interns and medical students working on related projects. Successful candidates should have a PhD or comparable degree. Proven experience and proficiency in either SPM or FSL and a solid publication record in brain imaging are absolutely required. Previous work on resting-state fMRI or diffusion tractography is highly advantageous as is programming expertise, in particular in Matlab. (Basic) knowledge of German is helpful for the interaction with non-scientific staff but not totally necessary.

Fwd: PhD position MPI Leipzig
by Gary Green 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

*PhD Position* *Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig* The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Leipzig and the Collaborative Research Centre "Obesity Mechanisms" at the University Clinic Leipzig are offering 2 PhD studentships in the project "Neurocognitive Models of Behavioural Control in Obesity". The goal of this project is the development of detailed models of brain functioning with respect to cognitive control mechanisms and their alterations in human obesity using both neurobiological and computational modelling methods. This work combines structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with computational modelling and behavioural assessment. Research will be conducted at the MPI in Leipzig, an internationally leading centre for cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging. The institute offers a multidisciplinary and international environment with excellent research facilities and infrastructure including a 7T and several 3T MRI scanners. The ideal candidate for position 1 holds a university degree (Masters or equivalent) in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Cognitive Science or similar with focus on computational aspects and has strong interests in the modelling of complex biological systems. Prior experiences in computational modelling and neuroimaging as well as programming skills are of advantage. The ideal candidate for position 2 holds a university degree (Masters or equivalent) in Neurobiology, Cognitive Science, Biology, Psychology or similar and has strong interests in systems neuroscience, neurotransmitter systems and large-scale network physiology. Prior experience in behavioural assessment and neuroimaging are of advantage. A solid background in statistics and proficiency in oral and written English are required for both positions. The positions are available for up to 4 years starting as soon as possible. Salary is based on the German public service regulations (E13/2, TV-L). The call will remain open until the positions are filled. Applications should be sent as a single PDF email attachment (max. 10-15 MB) to application_SFB1052(a)cbs.mpg.de quoting reference number "SFB1052". Complete Applications include cover letter, CV, one letter of reference and copies of university degrees and additional certificates. Please state explicitly which position you wish to be considered for. The MPI and University Clinic Leipzig are equal opportunity employers. Applications from female scientists are particularly encouraged. Handicapped applicants with equal qualification are preferred. Informal inquiries may be made to Dr. Annette Horstmann (horstmann(a)cbs.mpg.de) and Dr. Jane Neumann (neumann(a)cbs.mpg.de).
