The Department of Neuroradiology (lab for developmental cognitive neuroscience), Klinkum Rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany, is currently recruiting a Ph.D fellow for a fMRI study of the neurodevelopmental influences on cerebral connectivity in schizophrenic patients and children and adolescents at high-risk for schizophrenia. The candidate should be interested in the study of the developing brain and cerebral connectivity (structural / functional /effective). The fellow will work as part of a multidisciplinary team (e.g. psychologists, physicists, computer scientists, physicians), integrating the findings of a broad spectrum of approaches including fMRI (resting state fMRI, task fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging, morphometry (cortical thickness, gyrification), as well as data mining and clustering of fMRI data. There is access to two 3T scanners with a high standard scientific equipment (e.g. mr-compatible EEG, google system, mr-compatible EDA, eye tracking, mr-compatible thermic stimulation). Qualifications: The qualifications for a successful candidate include: - completed MA in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or related fields - interest in developmental psychology / developmental cognitive neuroscience - prior neuroimaging experience with functional MRI incl. skills in usage of one or more common functional neuroimaging (SPM, FSL) packages desirable Anticipated start date: beginning of 2010 If interested, please contact me at [log in to unmask]
