Dear colleagues,
The *Collaborative Research Center* 1052 "Obesity mechanisms" at the
Leipzig
University Hospital is offering a*PhD* studentship in *computational
modelling
*under the supervision of Dr Jane Neumann and Dr Annette Horstmann. The
project
investigates decision-making and feedback-related processes in humans by
combining
computational modelling with functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and
behavioral assessment.
The PhD position will be based at the *Max Planck Institute for Human
Cognitive
and Brain Sciences* in the beautiful city of *Leipzig*. 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.
Applicants should hold a Master's degree 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.

<mailto:horstmann at cbs.mpg.de>referring to
"SFB 1052, modelling". Complete applications include cover letter, CV,
letter(s) of
recommendation, and copies of university degrees and additional
certificates.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Jane Neumann (neumann at cbs.mpg.de
