Functional and MR-Spectroscopy Data for the Investigation of Deviant 
Perceptual Processes

A PhD student position in an interdisciplinary, DFG-funded research project, 
involving a combination of functional imaging, Psychiatry, and computational 
modeling.
The position is part-time (65 % of regular working hours)  with salary and 
benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state  Hesse, 
Germany (TV-H E 13).

Matlab. We expect you to be interested in the topic of the project (to be 
documented in a motivation letter (1 page max), in which you may refer to 
prior experiences, for instance, a thematically pertinent thesis, student 
research assistant positions, etc.), or quantitative modeling. We also expect 
prior exposure to machine learning and Bayesian statistics.
