Fwd: [PhD offer in Systems Neuroscience

The research group "Systems Neuroscience in Psychiatry"at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim (Germany)offers *1 PhD-student position *in the field of functional neuroimaging in health and disease. Special focus is set on multimodal network characterization using fMRI, preferentially in combination with other techniques (e.g., structural MRI, EEG, TMS), during both challenge (e.g. behavioural task, pharmacological agent) and non-challenge (e.g. resting state) conditions. The successful applicant will join a multidisciplinary team trained in medicine, psychology, biology, and/or applied natural sciences. Our expertise includes the application of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods in healthy individuals and psychiatric patient populations, the combination of MRI methods with other neuroscience techniques (e.g., rTMS, EEG), the identification and characterization of environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors underlying functional network dynamics, and the investigation of these diagnostic markers for prognosis and therapy. For further information, see http://www.zi-mannheim.de/en/research/departments/psychiatrie/arbeitsgruppe…. The position is available from *October 2013* onwards for initially 2 years and includes an option for extension.
