*Ph.D. Position in Decision Neuroscience at University of Basel*
The Center for Decision Neuroscience (Department of Psychology,
University of Basel, Switzerland) is seeking applicants for a 3-year
Ph.D. position. Successful candidates will get the opportunity to work
towards their Ph.D. in Psychology. At the Center for Decision
Neuroscience, we study the cognitive and neural basis of value-based
decision making and reward-based learning processes. Our research
methods comprise cognitive modeling of behavior, neuroimaging tools such
as fMRI or EEG, and eye-tracking.
The ideal candidate would have an M.Sc. in Psychology, Cognitive
Science, Neuroscience or a related field and should be interested in
cognitive neuroscience and quantitative research methods. Prior
experience with the analysis of fMRI/EEG data and/or with cognitive
modeling is desirable. Applicants will also be part of the Graduate
School on Social, Economic, and Decision Psychology at the Faculty of
Psychology and an English-speaking environment at the University of
Basel. The salary will be about 47,000 Swiss Francs (approx. 48,000 USD
or 43,000 EUR) per year. Additional resources to fund experiments and
conference travels are available.
Review of applications will start on the 17^th of April and will
continue until the position is filled. Please submit applications
(consisting of a short cover letter describing your motivation, CV,
certificates and transcripts, and up to three letters of recommendation)
to sebastian.gluth(a)unibas.ch <mailto:sebastian.gluth@unibas.ch>.
The recently established Center for Decision Neuroscience is directed by
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Gluth. We have access to a research-dedicated
3-Tesla MR scanner, a 64-channel EEG-system, and facilities for
behavioral, eye-tracking, and psychophysiological measures. The lab is
part of the growing Department of Psychology at the University of Basel,
one of the leading research universities in Europe. Basel is situated at
the river Rhine right at the border to France and Germany. It’s a great
place to live and work. Quality of life, health care, and public
transportation meet the highest international standards. Please do not
hesitate to send me an email for further inquiries. Looking forward to
your application!

Funded 3-year PhD in computational neuroimaging at University of Zurich, starting 07/2016
Applications are invited for a funded PhD position in neurobiology. The candidate will
work on formal models of human fear learning, and their neurobiological implementation.
The methodical focus will be on computational neuroimaging (3T and 7T MRI, possibly TMS),
and modelling of behaviour. The wider goal of the research group is to investigate
conserved neural circuits that support survival behaviour in the face of threat, and to
obtain a computational understanding of the algorithms they implement. The ultimate goal
of this research programme is to improve our understanding of pathological emotions in
psychiatric disorders (
http://bachlab.org).
The laboratory offers a friendly and collaborative research environment, close
supervision, a research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner and access to a 7T scanner, a fully
equipped psychological/psychophysiological testing lab, and access to EEG facilities. We
currently host 2 PhD students, 2 PostDocs, as well as support staff and students. Our
offices, behavioural testing faci

lities, and 3T scanner, are located in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich,
Switzerland (
http://bachlab.org/contact).
The position is funded by the University of Zurich for 3 years and paid according to
university standards (47'000 - 50'000 CHF). The candidate will participate in the
PhD programme of the Zurich Neuroscience Centre (admission via track II:
neuroscience.uzh.ch).
We are looking for a highly motivated individual who wishes to pursue a career in science,
and has an interest in theoretical neuroscience as well as hands-on experimentation.
Applicants should have MSc or equivalent in neuroscience, biology, biomedicine, computer
science, physics, psychology, or a related science/engineering discipline. Prior
experience is required in either cognitive neuroscience, theoretical neuroscience, or
animal models of fear. Familiarity with fMRI, and Matlab or R, would be useful. Fluent
English is mandatory, German is not required.
Starting date is July 2016. Applications deadline is 15.4.2016, later applications are
accepted until the position is filled (

Postdoctoral fellow in clinical neuroimaging
Job Summary
The fellow will conduct human neuroimaging research on participants with preclinical and
symptomatic genetic neurodegenerative disease. Current imaging techniques include
voxel-based morphometry, DTI and functional MRI, with an emphasis on intrinsic functional
connectivity network mapping (also referred to as “resting-state” fMRI). The ideal
candidate will have an interest in genetics, frontal systems, neuroanatomy, fMRI
methods/biomarker development, or a combination. Relationships between MRI metrics and
disease biomarkers will be analyzed. The fellow will contribute to ongoing experiments and
pursue self-directed projects within the lab’s area of investigation.
Required Qualifications
Appropriate areas of doctoral training include but are not limited to neuroscience,
bioengineering, applied mathematics, or computer science. Strong computational skills,
including script writing or programming, are required.
