Connectionists: Post-doctoral research position investigating brain connectivity

[Daniel Margulies]

We are currently inviting applications for a postdoctoral research position
in the Max Planck Research Group for Neuroanatomy & Connectivity. Our
research investigates the organization of connectivity in the human
cerebral cortex using MRI. The research projects will address the
topological structure of cortical connectivity patterns and their
relationship to underlying cortical morphology. Specific topics may range
from graph theoretical approaches and describing network structure to
cortical developmental modeling and addressing data visualization
challenges. The duration of the position is flexible, beginning with an
initial period of two years.

Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, computer
science, or a related discipline, with a strong background in data analysis
and programming. Previous experience in neuroscience and working with brain
imaging data is an advantage, but not a requirement. Applicants should
nonetheless have an outstanding scientific track record with clear evidence
of leadership and scholarly output in the form of publications and other
achievements. The position is primarily devoted to research, with no formal
teaching requirements, but ample opportunity to mentor graduate students.

The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences offers a
collaborative, international research environment with English being the
language spoken in the lab. The Institute has a state-of-the-art research
infrastructure, including several 3T scanners and one 7T MRI scanner,
TMS/tDCS, EEG, MEG, etc, and substantial computing resources.

Applicants are requested to provide a cover letter describing their
qualifications and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and the contact
information of at least two personal references. This should be sent as a
single PDF file to personal at cbs.mpg.de with the subject heading “PD NC 14”.
Please submit applications by September 15th, 2014.

Starting date for the position is flexible, but ideally in the autumn of
2014. Salary is dependent on experience and based on standard post-doctoral
MPI stipends.

The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer, and international
applicants are encouraged to apply.
