The newly established International Graduate School on Analysis, Brain Imaging, and Modelling of Neuronal and Inflammatory Processes (ABINEP) at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg (OvGU) is currently offering five PhD scholarships in the field of human neuroimaging. ABINEP is aimed at fostering cutting edge research in the neurosciences and immunology. With several research-dedicated 3T and one 7T MRI scanner, one MEG and numerous EEG and TMS labs and a combined MR-PET device, Magdeburg provides an outstanding infrastructure. Furthermore, a large community of researchers and several projects funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the European Union, and several Collaborative Research Centres, all based in Magdeburg, offer a stimulating environment for performing cutting-edge cognitive and systems neuroscience. ABINEP aims at educating excellent international PhD student candidates in four modules, organised by topics. ABINEP module 4 is dedicated to the analysis of human brain function in health and disease. Within module 4, one scholarship each is offered by the following projects: - Hippocampus-mapping and trend diagnosis of dementia (Düzel/Speck) http://www.iknd.ovgu.de/iknd/en/ - Pathology of decision making (Jocham/Ullsperger) http://www.ipsy.ovgu.de/ipsy_media/neuropsychologie/ABINEP_MU_GJ_02.pdf - Impact of vision loss on visual search (Pollmann/Hanke) http://www.ipsy.ovgu.de/ipsy/en/exppsy_jobs.html - Evaluation of Deep Brain Stimulation (Heinze/Zaehle) http://www.kneu.ovgu.de/kneu/en/neuropsychology.html - Characterizing functional brain networks with fMRI and TMS/DCS (Hinrichs/Noesselt) http://www.ipsy.ovgu.de/ipsy/en/Departments/Biological+Psychology/Open_Positions.html Funding is available from July 2017 to December 2022. Only candidates eligible for a valid residence and work permit in Germany can be taken into consideration.
