<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Institute for Anatomy I, University of Düsseldorf (Germany) together with the Connectivity Group of the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1), Research Centre Jülich within the Helmholtz Association (Germany)
(joint lead: Prof. Dr. Svenja Caspers) is seeking applications for a<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">PhD Position<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">on a topic of white-matter integrity of the brain and air pollution<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Institute for Anatomy I together with the Connectivity Group focuses on the investigation of brain variability throughout the life span in relation to environmental and genetic factors, with a particular focus on
the aging brain, at this taking advantage of large population-based cohorts who underwent MR neuroimaging (e.g. UK Biobank, German National Cohort, Human Connectome Project, 1000BRAINS). These efforts are part of current projects within the Human Brain Project
(HBP).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Within this particular project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the relevance of air pollution on white-matter integrity of the brain will be investigated conjointly with the Helmholtz Centre for Health
and Environment in Munich.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The successful candidate holds a master’s degree in neuroscience, computer science, psychology, medicine or related fields. Experience with processing and analyses of MR neuroimaging data is highly desirable. Knowledge
about advanced statistics (e.g. clustering methods) and a strong interest in applying new methods to MR imaging data, e.g. from the field of pattern recognition, would be valuable. Very good command of English is expected.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The applicant will become part of an interdisciplinary team of PostDocs, PhD and MD students with various backgrounds. He / she will have ample possibilities to expand his / her own knowledge and expertise and interact
and collaborate with colleagues from different fields, including big data analytics, genetics, and epidemiology. With our group closely collaborating with the Jülich Supercomputing Center, the applicant will have access to high-performance computing clusters
for efficient and novel analyses approaches.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Funding for the position is available for three years. Applications will continue to be received until the position is filled.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
