A position is open for a post-doctoral research fellow within the Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology (Head PI Dr. Julie Bakker) at the GIGA Neurosciences, University of Liège. The lab has a strong research focus on understanding of how gonadal hormones induce sex differences in the brain and behavior during fetal development but also how they further affect brain structure and functioning during puberty and later in adulthood. Current projects include a multimodal (structural and functional) imaging study investigating unravel the role of pubertal gonadal hormones in brain sexual differentiation using Kallmann Syndrome as model. Other projects include the potential role of pheromones in influencing cognition and mood via limbic pathways and pharmacological interventions in women with a disorder of low sexual desire. We are seeking a candidate with a PhD in a relevant field (neuroscience, neuropsychology, etc.) to join our lively and dynamic research group. The successful candidate will be highly motivated and with a strong background in neuroimaging. The candidate is expected to have an interest in behavioral neuroscience and neuroendocrinology, preferably reflected in their research background. Proficiency in all stages of MRI research, including study design and management, recruitment, acquisition and analysis is required. Experience in multiply MRI modalities (structural, task and resting-state fMRI, DTI) is considered a plus. The successful candidate will have demonstrated academic productivity in the form of peer reviewed scientific publications, presentations at scientific congresses and a proven record of grant/fellowship awards. The research fellow will work in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment at the GIGA, a major centre for research and development in biotechnology and is one of a very few centers in Europe that have excelled at integrating academic research, collaborations with companies, technology transfer and training facilities. The GIGA Neurosciences unit carries out top-level research on the development, functioning and disorders of the nervous system. The MRI acquisitions will take place at the Cyclotron Research Center (CRC), a dedicated research unit within the GIGA (GIGA-CRC in vivo imaging). The position is temporary for a period of 1 year (commencing October 2019 - October 2020) with the potential for renewal depending on grant/fellowship outcomes. Candidates should send their application, including a curriculum vitae, or requests for additional information to Dr. Julie Bakker via email at [log in to unmask] ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the FSL list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=FSL&A=1
