Fwd: Job announcement I

FYI -------------------------- Within the newly established Collaborative Research Center („Sonderforschungsbereich“ SFB 940) „Volition and Cognitive Control“ the Neuroimaging Center at the Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Mathematics und Natural Sciences seeks to appoint a Data Analyst/ Research Scientist, Ph.D. (salary E13 TV-L, 100%) with a strong background in advanced neuroimaging methods (especially functional connectivity) The position is initially limited for 4 years. Tasks: The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) “Volition and Cognitive Control” (http://tu-dresden.de/die_tu_dresden/fakultaeten/fakultaet_mathematik_und_na…) comprises 20 sub-projects and is funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) for an initial period of four years with a budget of over 10 Mill. €. The overarching aim of the CRC is to combine expertise from experimental psychology, cognitive-affective neuroscience, clinical psychology, and psychiatry to investigate cognitive and neural mechanisms of volitional control as well as volitional dysfunctions in selected mental disorders. As a central component of SFB 940 a „Core Imaging Facility” (CIF) will be established which serves to support and inspire fMRI-based projects within the SFB 940. As part of the CIF team, we seek to appoint a specialist for the analysis of large-scale functional brain networks. This position is expected to be involved in a wide range of co-operations related to both implementing established functional connectivity methods as well as developing novel analytic methods. The Department of Psychology houses a neuroimaging center with a 3T Siemens Trio scanner exclusively dedicated to research. Besides an engagement in research projects we also expect the candidate to take an active role in training Ph.D. students on fMRI methods. Language for daily research communication will be English. Profile: We seek to appoint a person with a strong background in computational neuroscience with profound mathematical knowledge who is highly experienced and skilled in the multivariate analysis of large-scale functional brain connectivity with in-depth expertise ideally in more than one analytical technique applied to fMRI data (DCM, ICA, SEM, GA, etc.).
