The
Collaborative Research Center 1052 "Obesity
mechanisms" at the Leipzig
University Hospital is offering a
PhD studentship in
computational
modelling
under the supervision of Dr Jane Neumann and Dr Annette
Horstmann. The project
investigates decision-making and feedback-related processes in
humans by combining
computational modelling with functional magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) and
behavioral assessment.
The PhD position will be based at the
Max Planck Institute
for Human Cognitive
and Brain Sciences in the beautiful city of
Leipzig.
Both Leipzig‘s long tradition in
conducting neuroscientific research and the ultra-modern
equipment at the Institute
provide an environment that offers new perspectives in
neuroimaging research.
Applicants should hold a Master's degree in one of the following
disciplines: computational
or cognitive neuroscience, computer science, mathematics,
physics, cognitive science
or related. Prior experience in the field of computational
neuroscience and/or neuroimaging
are of advantage. Sound knowledge of statistics and excellent
programming skills are
essential. A good command of written and spoken English is
requested of all applicants.
