One of the most exciting labs I know is looking for a postdoc. I've been
working there for two years and I have to say it's a really inspiring
and diverse place. See the details below:
"We are currently inviting applications for a postdoctoral research
position in the Max Planck Research Group for Neuroanatomy &
Connectivity. Our research investigates the organization of connectivity
in the human cerebral cortex using MRI. The research projects will
address the topological structure of cortical connectivity patterns and
their relationship to underlying cortical morphology. Specific topics
may range from graph theoretical approaches and describing network
structure to cortical developmental modeling and addressing data
visualization challenges. The duration of the position is flexible,
beginning with an initial period of two years.
Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, computer
science, or a related discipline, with a strong background in data
analysis and programming. Previous experience in neuroscience and
working with brain imaging data is an advantage, but not a requirement.
Applicants should nonetheless have an outstanding scientific track
record with clear evidence of leadership and scholarly output in the
form of publications and other achievements. The position is primarily
devoted to research, with no formal teaching requirements, but ample
opportunity to mentor graduate students.
The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences offers a
collaborative, international research environment with English being the
language spoken in the lab. The Institute has a state-of-the-art
research infrastructure, including several 3T scanners and one 7T MRI
scanner, TMS/tDCS, EEG, MEG, etc, and substantial computing resources.
Applicants are requested to provide a cover letter describing their
qualifications and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and the
contact information of at least two personal references. This should be
sent as a single PDF file to personal(a)cbs.mpg.de
<mailto:personal@cbs.mpg.de>Â with the subject heading âPD NC 14â.
Please submit applications by September 15th, 2014.
Starting date for the position is flexible, but ideally in the autumn of
2014. Salary is dependent on experience and based on standard
post-doctoral MPI stipends.
The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer, and
international applicants are encouraged to apply.
