*Job offer*
The *Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences*
*Leipzig *and the *Collaborative Research Center****(CRC) 1052* "Obesity
mechanisms" at the *Leipzig University Hospital* are offering a *PhD
studentship**in computational modelling*. Within the project,
computational modelling is used to investigate leaning and
decision-making in humans. The project is aimed at the multi-modal
integration of available and newly acquired genetic, behavioral and
structural/functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data towards
comprehensive computational and neurocognitive models of cognitive
control over behavior.
Work will be carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive
and Brain Sciences Leipzig under the supervision of Dr Jane Neumann and
Dr Annette Horstmann. Both Leipzig‘s long tradition in conducting
neuroscientific research and the ultra-modern equipment at the Max
Planck Institute provide an environment that offers new perspectives in
neuroimaging research. Further, the position will be part of the CRCs
Integrated Research Training Group. This graduate program offers
interdisciplinary qualification in various research methods and
transferable skills, and provides support in career planning and in
establishing an own scientific network.
Applicants should hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in one of the
following disciplines: computational or cognitive neuroscience, computer
science, mathematics, physics, cognitive science or related. Prior
experience in the field of computational neuroscience and/or
neuroimaging are of great advantage. Sound knowledge of statistics and
excellent programming skills are essential. A good command of written
and spoken English is requested of all applicants.
Please send your application as a single pdf-file to
_neumann(a)cbs.mpg.de_ referring to 'Modelling SFB 1052'. Complete
applications include cover letter, CV, letter(s) of recommendation, and
copies of university degrees and additional certificates.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Jane Neumann
(_neumann(a)cbs.mpg.de_, +49 (0) 341 99 40 26 21). Note that Dr. Neumann
and Dr. Horstmann will be available
for meeting at*OHBM 2014* in Hamburg.
The salary is based on the German E 13 TV-L salary scale. In order to
increase the proportion of female staff members, applications from
female scientists are particularly encouraged. Disabled applicants are
preferred if qualification is equal.
Deadline for application: until position is filled
