Karolinska Institutet
Invites applications for a
Postdoc in Clinical Neuroscience
Workplace: Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Stockholm Brain Institute
Form of Employment: Temporary
Scope: Full-time
Description of the work group:
The Ivanka Savic group is a member of the Stockholm Brain Institute (SBI) for cognitive and computational neuroscience (www.stockholmbrain.se). The centre has a widespread expertise in neuroimaging methods including fMRI, DTI and PET.
Description of the project:
The goal of the research project is to investigate how X-chromosome genes may govern human behavior.
To achieve this the group is using combined genetic, behavioral and brain imaging studies of both patients and controls.
Qualifications:
The successful applicant is a highly talented, innovative and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD in the field of human brain and behavior, with focus on brain imaging.
The ideal candidate will have expertise in the acquisition and analysis of MRI (VBM, DTI, fMRI) and good programming
skills. Applicants with no imaging experience but with a strong track-record in cognitive neuroscience or neurology are
also encouraged to apply. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a consistently outstanding academic record,
including publications in international journals.
To qualify, the applicant must hold a doctor’s degree or a foreign qualification deemed equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have completed their degree no more than three years before the last date for applications should be given priority. Candidates who have completed their degree earlier than this should receive equal priority if special grounds exist.
Postgraduates who have yet to graduate may apply if their public defence is scheduled to take place within three months after the application deadline, in which case verification from the Dissertation Committee or equivalent body must be submitted with the application.
