Dear colleagues We are pleased to announce the following open postdoc / staff-scientist position(s) at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine, Research Center Jülich, Germany! The Institute for Neuroscience and Medicine (INM) explores the structure and function of the brain in healthy subjects and in patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases. The Department of Structural and Functional Organisation of the Brain (INM-1; head Professor Katrin Amunts) has a long-standing expertise in mapping brain networks and their inter-individual variability by integrating structure, function, connectivity and behavior. In addition, as a core partner of the Human Brain Project (HBP), we are currently building pipelines for high-throughput neuroimaging analyses and multi-modal brain mapping, enabling population-based descriptions of neurobiology and brain-behavior associations. As part of these endeavors, the INM-1 is currently offering postdoc / staff-scientist positions in neuroimaging to be filled as soon as possible. Working at the interface between methods development, high-performance computing as well as basic and clinical neuroscience, this project focus on multi-modal in-vivo brain parcellation. The key idea of this work is to integrate brain parcellation based on multiple complementary features with in-depth descriptions of the ensuing modules, including inter-individual variability and brain-behavior analysis as well as clinical implications. Hereby we will leverage the available large neuroimaging datasets and high-performance computing capabilities into dynamic multi-modal population-based atlases of structure, function, connectivity and behavior. Together with an interdisciplinary team you will be involved in all research and organization aspects, ranging from data management and methods development to analysis of regional brain organization and distributed networks, as well as the publication of the results. You will also assist in supervising junior (MSc and, in case of a postdoc position, PhD) students. Your profile: * PhD (Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Engineering or related areas) or Masters degree and relevant work experience * Programming expertise in Python and (ideally) Matlab * Substantial experience in neuroimaging packages such as SPM, FSL, NiPy etc. * In-depth knowledge of spoken and written English, previous publications required for post-doc position * Good interpersonal and organizational skills * High motivation to work in an interdisciplinary environment Our offer: * Work on innovative methods and applications in one of the most dynamic fields of imaging neuroscience, including unique opportunities to pioneer the integration of high-throughput computing and brain atlasing * An interdisciplinary, international research environment on an attractive research campus, ideally situated between the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf and Aachen * World-class technical facilities, cutting-edge software technologies and fascinating neuroscientific datasets to work with * A wide spectrum of individual training opportunities * At least 2 year full-time position with options for long-term employment * Salary conforming to salary grade E13 of the Collective Agreement for the German Civil Service (TVöD) according to experience The Forschungszentrum Jülich aims to employ more women in this area and therefore particularly welcomes applications from women. We also welcome applications from disabled persons. The position is available immediately and search will continue until a candidate has been selected.
