FYI ----------------------------------- *2 PhD-Students in Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience* The Department of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience (Prof. Dr. Herta Flor), Central Institute of Mental Health, University of Heidelberg, Germany (http://www.zi-mannheim.de/848.html <blocked::http://www.zi-mannheim.de/848.html>) invites applications for two doctoral positions, which will begin March 1, 2011 (or shortly after). Candidates must have a diploma or master in psychology, neuroscience or a related discipline. The Department of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience focuses on the interaction between brain and behavior with a strong research emphasis on neuronal correlates of learning and memory. Related mechanisms of neuronal plasticity are investigated in patients with mental disorders and chronic pain as well as aging-related changes. The research involves multi-channel electroencephalography (EEG), peripheral physiological recordings, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and genetic analyses. We are looking for individuals with experience in designing, running and analyzing experimental research studies with psychophysiological methods. Familiarity with office, databasing and statistical software packages (e.g., SPSS) are a given, experience with analysis of fMRI and EEG data (e.g., SPM, FSL, Brainvoyager) would be an advantage but is not a prerequisite. The candidates should have strong interest in research on learning and memory or research on pain and its clinical applications, interest in working with patients and in being part of an interdisciplinary research team. The position is time-limited with a maximum of three years. Equal qualification provided, physically challenged individuals will be given priority.
