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.
To apply, please send a CV, motivation letter and contact details of
three academic referees to Simon.Eickhoff(a)uni-duesseldorf.de

*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).
