Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
The <b>Collaborative Research Center</b> 1052 "Obesity mechanisms"
at the Leipzig <br>
University Hospital is offering a<b> PhD</b> studentship in <b>computational
modelling <br>
</b>under the supervision of Dr Jane Neumann and Dr Annette
Horstmann. The project <br>
investigates decision-making and feedback-related processes in
humans by combining <br>
computational modelling with functional magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) and <br>
behavioral assessment.<br>
<br>
The PhD position will be based at the <b>Max Planck Institute for
Human Cognitive <br>
and Brain Sciences</b> in the beautiful city of <b>Leipzig</b>.
Both Leipzig‘s long tradition in <br>
conducting neuroscientific research and the ultra-modern equipment
at the Institute<br>
provide an environment that offers new perspectives in neuroimaging
research.<br>
<br>
Applicants should hold a Master's degree in one of the following
disciplines: computational<br>
or cognitive neuroscience, computer science, mathematics, physics,
cognitive science <br>
or related. Prior experience in the field of computational
neuroscience and/or neuroimaging <br>
are of advantage. Sound knowledge of statistics and excellent
programming skills are <br>
essential. A good command of written and spoken English is requested
of all applicants.<br>
<br>
Please send your application as a single pdf-file to <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:horstmann@cbs.mpg.de">neumann@cbs.mpg.de
</a>referring to <br>
"SFB 1052, modelling". Complete applications include cover letter,
CV, letter(s) of <br>
recommendation, and copies of university degrees and additional
certificates.<br>
<br>
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Jane Neumann (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:horstmann@cbs.mpg.de">neumann@cbs.mpg.de</a>)
