Clinical research at the DZNE aims to investigate causes and preclinical biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases, and to study normal and pathological brain structure and function in neurodegenerative diseases. To this end the team, led by Prof. Thomas Klockgether, Director of Clinical Research of the DZNE, is currently establishing several clinical studies including MR-imaging in a multi-center and single site setting. The study facility in Bonn will encompass state-of-the art apparatus including 3T MRI scanners (Siemens Skyra) as well as a 7T MRI Scanner, advanced bio-banking program and large data storage and computational resources.
We invite applications for a PhD project on multimodal brain imaging in Neurodegenerative Diseases (e.g. spinocerebellar ataxia, Alzheimer, Parkinsonism) in the Clinical Research Group at the German Center of Neurodegenerative Diseases, DZNE, and Bonn, Germany.
Your tasks Within the framework of multicenter studies the project aims to develop quantitative estimation methods to extract structural and functional features of Neurodegenerative Diseases (e.g. spinocerebellar ataxia) in the human brain. This methodological advancement will help in identifying the possible biomarkers with the help of machine learning approaches. Interested candidates are encouraged to develop quantitative computational methods and implement machine learning tools to optimize them.
Requirements
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in neuroscience, psychology, biomedical engineering, or a related field, and with a strong interest in neurodegenerative diseases. Proficiency in English is expected; programming skills in MATLAB and python. Candidate should have experience in quantitative methods to analyze structural and functional data and Interest in machine learning tools and their implementation in identification of pathology specific biomarkers. Demonstrable interest in statistical methods, strong analytical skills, ability for independent and critical thinking, and excellent communication and writing skills in the English language are a prerequisite. Creative, highly motivated and team-oriented candidates, who dare to take initiative and enjoy working in a fast-growing, dynamic research environment in an internationally oriented biomedical institution, are strongly encouraged to apply.
We offer
An exciting and challenging position in a research center that works on state-of-the art health research topics
The position is funded for three years, extension possible
Job location is Bonn, Germany
Common language at work is English or German
Employment, payment, and social benefits consistent with those at other research institutions
