FYI
Postdoc in systems neuroscience/ Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research
Department of Neurology, Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Department
of Neurology, Technische Universität München, to work on MS at the
systemic level by using MRI. The project will not only focus on
structural correlates of clinical symptoms in patients with MS but also
on the relation of MS pathology as quantified by MRI and molecular
biomarkers such as Vitamin D, markers of inflammation and
neurodegeneration, as well as genetic data from different OMICs. The
candidate will join a research group dedicated to MS research at the
systemic level
(
http://www.neurokopfzentrum.med.tum.de/neurologie/425.html) which is
part of the TUM-Neuroimaging Center (
http://www.tumnic.mri.tum.de).
Applicants should have a PhD or comparable background in neuroscience,
medicine, psychology, physics, engineering, or other relevant
disciplines. Prior experience in MRI data analysis is necessary.
Advanced skills as required for more sophisticated analysis of big MRI
data (e.g. data mining, structural covariance, machine learning
techniques, mediation analysis, Bayesian networks) are highly desirable.
The position is based on external funding. Salary will be commensurate
with the German TVöD salary scale (EG13). The position is initially
available for two years with the second year contingent dependent on
satisfactory progress. Extension beyond two years is intended.
Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
Candidates may contact Dr. Mark Mühlau for more detailed information or
send their application via e-mail (muehlau(a)lrz.tum.de).
