Imaging neurodegeneration - PhD position in Freiburg, Germany

A 3-years doctoral position (50% TV-L 13) is available from autumn 2012 at the Freiburg Brain Imaging Center (FBI, http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/fbi/live/index_en.html) in Germany. The candidate can obtain a PhD in the field of Psychology, Medicine or Biology.

The research group focuses on neurodegenerative disorders and combines functional and structural imaging to study compensatory mechanisms and uses pattern recognition methods with multivariate data (e.g. imaging, neuropsychological test results) for diagnostic and prognostic applications in the clinical setting (http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/fbi/live/forschung/AutomatedDiagnosing_en.h...).
