Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
The <b>Collaborative Research Center </b>(CRC) 1052 "Obesity
mechanisms" at the Leipzig University Hospital is offering a <b>PhD
studentship in computational modelling</b> under the supervision
of Dr Jane Neumann and Dr Annette Horstmann. Within the project,
computational modelling will be used to investigate decision-making
and learning in humans by combining genetic, behavioural and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from different modalities.
<br>
<br>
The PhD position will be based at the <b>Max Planck Institute for
Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences</b> in the beautiful city of <b>Leipzig</b>.
Both Leipzig‘s long tradition in conducting neuroscientific research
and the ultra-modern equipment at the Institute provide an
environment that offers new perspectives in neuroimaging research.
Further, the position will be part of the CRCs Integrated Research
Training Group. This graduate program offers interdisciplinary
qualification in various research methods and transferable skills,
and provides support in career planning and in establishing an own
scientific network.
<br>
<br>
Applicants should hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in one of
the following disciplines: computational or cognitive neuroscience,
computer science, mathematics, physics, cognitive science or
related. Prior experience in the field of computational neuroscience
and/or neuroimaging are of advantage. Sound knowledge of statistics
and excellent programming skills are 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 <u><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:neumann@cbs.mpg.de">neumann@cbs.mpg.de</a></u>
referring to 'Modelling SFB 1052'. Complete applications include
cover letter, CV, letter(s) of recommendation, and copies of
university degrees and additional certificates.
<br>
<br>
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Jane Neumann (<u><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:neumann@cbs.mpg.de">neumann@cbs.mpg.de</a></u>,
+49 (0) 341 99 40 26 21).
<br>
<br>
The salary is based on the German E 13 TV-L salary scale. In order
to increase the proportion of female staff members, applications
from female scientists are particularly encouraged. Disabled
applicants are preferred if qualification is equal.
<br>
<br>
Deadline for application: until position is filled
