A 3-year PhD-position is available from early 2014 at the Freiburg
Brain Imaging Center
(http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/fbi/live/index_en.html), Department
of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, in Germany.
The project focuses on compensatory mechanisms in neurodegenerative
disorders by combining functional and structural imaging as well as
transcranial magnetic stimulation. The candidate can obtain a PhD in
the field of Psychology, Medicine or Biology and is welcome to
participate in developing MRI-based pattern recognition methods for
diagnostics and prognostics
(http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/fbi/live/groups/kloppel/Projects/
diagnosing_en.html ). If desired, candidates can be involved in
teaching and cognitive testing at the local memory clinic.
We offer
The FBI combines efforts in neuroimaging research of the departments
of Psychiatry/Psychotherapy, Biological and Personality Psychology,
Neurology, Neuroradiology and Neurosurgery. We offer a continuous
education program (image analyses, SPSS, etc.) and weekly research
meetings. Support for MRI sequence development is provided by the
Department of MR-Physics. The research group is closely collaborating
with the Department for Pattern recognition methods
(http://lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/index.en.html) and is part of
large research initiatives (www.humanbrainproject.eu/de;
http://www.brainlinks-braintools.uni-freiburg.de/ ).
We require
Applicants must hold a master degree or equivalent in medicine,
psychology or a related field. Previous experience with fMRI is
desired and basic programming skills (e.g. Matlab, FSL, SPM) are
advantageous but not required.
Disabled applicants are preferred if qualification is equal. As the
University of Freiburg intends to increase the proportion of female
employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply.
Please send applications until 15/12/13 to PD Dr. Stefan Klöppel
