Two positions in Cognitive Neurology:
The Cognitive Neurology group (headed by Prof. Dr. med. Gereon R. Fink)
at the Institute of Medicine (IME), Research Centre Jülich
(http://www.fz-juelich.de/ime) invites applications for two full-time
postdoctoral positions (salary level equivalent to BAT IIa) starting
January 1st, 2006.
The research of the Cognitive Neurology group is focused on the
development and implementation of novel behavioural, cognitive or
pharmacological strategies for the treatment of cognitive deficits to
improve the rehabilitation thereof. The Cognitive Neurology group
intensively interacts with the Department of Neurology, Cognitive
Neurology, of the University Hospital Aachen
(www.neurologie.ukaachen.de) and the clinical research group DFG funded
KFO 112 (“Normal and impaired mechanisms of attention and their
therapeutic modulation”).
For post 1, applicants should hold an excellent degree in medicine or
neuro-psychology/ neuroscience and should have a strong
interdisciplinary interest in cognitive neuroscience. The holder of the
post will be required to conduct neuropsychological as well as
functional imaging studies with healthy control subjects and
neurological patients investigating the neurobiological mechanisms
underlying cognitive deficits like neglect, apraxia or aphasia.
Prior experience with functional imaging methods and data analyses with
SPM (statistical parametric mapping) or clinical neuropsychology are
expected.
For post 2, applicants should hold an excellent degree in physics or
informatics and should have a strong interdisciplinary interest in
cognitive neuroscience, especially in functional imaging methods like
fMRI, PET and MEG. Sound knowledge of programming (e.g. matlab) and of
data analyses with SPM (statistical parametric mapping) is expected.
The Research Centre Jülich strives to increase the percentage of female
employees in the field of science and therefore encourages applications
of female candidates. Handicapped applicants will be given preference
in case of equal qualifications.
Further information about the position can be obtained from Prof. Gereon
Fink ([log in to unmask]; telephone: +49-2461-61-4334 or -2725).
Applications including CV and references as well as representative
publications should be sent to Prof. Dr. med. Gereon R. Fink, Direktor
am Institut für Medizin (IME), Forschungszentrum Jülich, 52425 Jülich,
Germany
