PhD position - Fear, Anxiety & Stress
Department of Systems Neuroscience, Hamburg
A DFG-funded PhD position (up to 3 yrs, subject to final release of
funds) is available at the Department of Systems Neuroscience /
University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany.
Starting date is as soon as possible, at the latest during autumn 2014.
The fear, anxiety and stress group is looking for a PhD candidate to
work on projects on return of fear using fMRI and psychophysiological
measures.
The research group integrated in the Collaborative Research Center (SFB
TRR 58 “Fear, Anxiety, Anxiety Disorders”) which brings together human,
rodent and molecular researchers on fear, anxiety and anxiety disorders
from three German universities (Hamburg, Münster, Würzburg). More
information about the group can be found here

The successful candidate will primarily be responsible for collecting
and analyzing fMRI and behavioral data, writing scientific papers and
giving scientific presentations.
The ideal candidate should have a Diploma/Master in psychology,
neuroscience, or a related field. Experience with programming skills
(e.g. Matlab, Presentation), statistical analysis software (e.g. SPSS,
R) and acquisition and analysis of fMRI (e.g. SPM) and
psychophysiological measures are highly desired but not mandatory.
Strong interests in the field of neuroimaging and (experimental)
fear/anxiety research are valuable.
The Department of Systems Neuroscience (head: Prof. Christian Büchel)
provides an excellent multi-disciplinary and highly interactive
neuroimaging environment with its own physics, psychology and clinical
neuroscience groups as well as a research dedicated 3T MR scanner, EEG-,
psychophysiology and eye-tracking laboratories. The institute hosts an
international graduate school that offers a comprehensive program
covering all areas of neuroscience and provides PhD students with an
excellent research environment.
For questions about the project please contact Dr. Tina Lonsdorf (see
below).
Candidates should submit a CV, diploma/masters degree, names and contact
