Fwd: Position for a PhD student in behavioral and imaging genetics

FYI 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 in Hamburg (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.
