Dear colleagues,

The Max-Planck Society and University College London recently launched a joint initiative in Computational Psychiatry & Aging. This program currently offers a number of open postdoctoral positions (application deadline: 31 March 2011). We would be grateful if you could forward the information below to students in your department who may have an interest in applying for these positions.

With many thanks and my very best wishes, Klaas

Max Planck Society – University College London Joint Initiative in Computational Psychiatry and Aging

The Max Planck Society (MPS) and University College London (UCL) are launching a joint initiative, funded by contributions from MPS and UCL, commencing in May 2011 (for details, see www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research-initiative-mps-ucl http://www.mpibberlin.mpg.de/research-initiative-mps-ucl). The initiative will involve laboratories including the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (Berlin) and the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig), in Germany, and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (London) and the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (London) in the UK. The goal of the initiative is to develop novel neuroscience approaches to understanding psychopathology and cognitive aging that exploit computational and mechanistic perspectives. We are seeking applicants for a number of post-doctoral positions with an interest or background in computational neuroscience who would like to use such approaches to understand psychiatric disorders and cognitive aging.

The applicants should forward their CVs to Helena Maravilla (MPSUCL@mpib-berlin.mpg.de), Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany. The deadline for the first round of applications is March 31, 2011.
