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:

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
