<div class="moz-forward-container"> The Max Planck Institute for
Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Leipzig and the Collaborative
Research Center (CRC) 1052 "Obesity mechanisms" at the Leipzig
University Hospital are offering a PhD studentship in
computational modelling. Within the project, computational
modelling is used to investigate leaning and decision-making in
humans. The project is aimed at the multi-modal integration of
available and newly acquired behavioral, structural/functional
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), PET and genetic data towards
comprehensive computational and neurocognitive models of cognitive
control over behavior.
<br>
<br>
Work will be carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Human
Cognitive and Brain Sciences Leipzig under the supervision of Dr
Jane Neumann and Dr Annette Horstmann. Both Leipzig‘s long
tradition in conducting neuroscientific research and the
ultra-modern equipment at the Max Planck 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, maths, psychology, biology,
cognitive science or related. Prior experience in the fields of
computational neuroscience and/or neuroimaging are of great
advantage. Sound knowledge of statistics and excellent programming
skills are essential. A good command of written and spoken English
is requested of all applicants.

Please send your application as a single pdf-file to <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:neumann@cbs.mpg.de">neumann@cbs.mpg.de</a>
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 (+49 (0) 341
99 40 26 21). For meeting Dr. Neumann and Dr. Horstmann at <b>OHBM
2014</b>, please send an email to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

including days and times when you are available during the
conference.
<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
