Postdoctoral Positions in Brain Imaging Seven postdoctoral research positions are available within a recently established Lundbeck Foundation Center for Integrated Molecular Brain Imaging (CIMBI) in Copenhagen, Denmark. CIMBI focuses on the neural bases of interindividual variability in, e.g., personality dimensions that predispose individuals to neuropsychiatric disorders, with special emphasis on the serotonergic neurotransmitter system. Both PET and MRI will be employed in studies of healthy human subjects, and where relevant these will be complemented with studies using animal models. Advanced informatics techniques, new tracer compounds, and novel serotonergic challenge paradigms will also be developed within CIMBI. The work venues will span several institutions in Copenhagen as well as several collaborating laboratories in Europe and the U.S. The following positions are available from January 2006: 1. Postdoctoral researcher to work with cognition, behavior and/or personality and molecular brain imaging of the serotonergic transmitter system 2. Postdoctoral researcher to work with the genetic and biochemical determinants of the serotonergic transmitter system 3. Two postdoctoral researchers to work with the relation between personality, biochemistry, brain structure determined by structural MRI, and functional brain imaging under serotonergic challenges 4. Postdoctoral researcher to work with the development of serotonergic PET agonist tracers 5. Postdoctoral researcher to work with a meta-analytic approach to knowledge discovery in molecular brain imaging 6. Postdoctoral position in computational data-analysis 7. Computer programmer for building databases of human brain data All positions are available for a duration of 2-5 years starting from January 2006 or soon thereafter. A detailed description of each position and required qualifications can be found at http://www.cimbi.dk/vacancies/ Applications should be electronic (PDF format) and must be received by December 1, 2005.
