Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a postdoc opportunity at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine, Research Center Jülich, Germany in cooperation with the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf:

The Institute for Neuroscience and Medicine, Brain and Behaviour (INM-7) and the Institute of Systems Neuroscience at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf jointly explores the structure and function of the brain in healthy subjects and in patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases. Our institute 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.

Currently we are looking for a postdoc candidate who is interested in working on brain parcellation, brain – behavior associations using machine-learning approaches or understanding and modelling inter-individual variability. Together with an interdisciplinary team you will be involved in all research and organization aspects, ranging from data management and methods development to neuroscientific and clinical application. You will also assist in supervising junior researchers (MD, MSc, PhD students).

Postdoc candidate profile:

PhD in Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Engineering or related areas
Experience using neuroimaging packages such as SPM, FSL, NiPy etc.
Programming expertise in Python and/or Matlab
In-depth knowledge of spoken and written English, previous publication record
High motivation to work in an interdisciplinary environment

Our offer:

Work on innovative methods
An interdisciplinary, international research environment
World-class technical facilities, cutting-edge software technologies and fascinating neuroscientific datasets to work with
A wide spectrum of individual training opportunities

Administrative aspects:

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
Work can be performed either at the University of Düsseldorf or at the Research Center Jülich in a flexible manner

The position is available immediately and search will continue until a candidate has been selected. For further information, informal inquiries or applications, please contact Professor Simon Eickhoff ([log in to unmask]).
