One Postdoc and two PhD Positions are available at the Section of Neuroimaging, Marburg.
Our research group is located within the Department of Psychiatry and focuses on MR-
neuroimaging in cognitive psychiatry. Some of our current projects address
methodological developments, others investigate the neurocognitive correlates of various
psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, autism, depression etc.).
Project description:
The work of the successful candidates will include the performance of experiments in the
field of social-cognitive and affective neuroscience using fMRI, the analysis of effective
connectivity between brain regions by Dynamic Causal Modelling and analysis of structural
MR images (e.g., DTI data, hippocampus volumetry). Some projects are embedded in a
German-wide multicenter project investigating therapy effects in patients with
schizophrenia and panic disorder, respectively.
Requirements:
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong interest in multidisciplinary
research. Applicants should have a degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Medicine, Physics,
Informatics, Biology or related areas. A background in fMRI analyses techniques (SPM, FSL,
MATLAB etc), statistics or clinical neuropsychology would be of advantage.
The position is available immediately and search will continue until a candidate has been
selected. Applications (including CV and publication list) should be sent to Soeren Krach
(soerenkrach@web.de) or Andreas Jansen (an.jan@gmx.de).
