We offer an excellent multidisciplinary environment with expertise in
neuroimaging, neuropsychology, bioinformatics, epidemiology and state of
the art multimodal neuroimaging equipment (3T MRI, high-density fMRI
compatible EEG, molecular PET, IT infrastructure). The research team is

the German Excellence Initiative. The research fellow will draw on a
comprehensive database and technical support to facilitate efficient
work conditions. He/she will work in a young and highly productive team
