The Department of Neurology and Brain Imaging Center (BIC) at the
Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main invites applications for a full-time
position as
Clinician scientist (m/f)
Or
Doctoral/Postdoctoral researcher (m/f)
We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated individual to develop a
programme of research into imaging biomarkers of neurological diseases.
Topics include the evolution of lesions in Multiple Sclerosis, the
differentiation of neurodegenerative diseases, and the evaluation of
target sites for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in movement disorders.
Essential qualifications and interests include
· a background in medicine, neuroscience, or a related field
(e.g., a degree in psychology, engineering, physics, biology)
· programming skills (Linux shell scripting, MATLAB)
· an interest in biomedical questions and systems neuroscience
· interpersonal skills when dealing with research subjects and
colleagues
Additionally, the ideal applicant
· has experience with imaging software packages (e.g. FSL, SPM)
· enjoys inter-disciplinary interactions with physicists and
clinicians
· has experience with conducting MRI scans
· speaks (basic) German to interact with study subjects
The successful candidate should have a demonstrated capacity for
independent work and be capable of initiating research in a lively
research environment.
The post will involve collecting MRI data from patients with

peer-reviewed journals, as well as writing ethics applications for
research projects. For Doctoral researchers, Goethe-University provides
the opportunity to obtain a PhD degree.
The Brain Imaging Center offers excellent imaging facilities, with two
research-only 3T Siemens MRI scanners, MEG, various stimulus
presentation methods, and an active physics group.
The position is available immediately and can be split up.
The appointment will be initially for 2 years, with the possibility of
extension.
Salary will be based on TV-Ä Hessen for Clinicians, and up to TVÖD-E13
