A POSTDOCTORAL POSITION with emphasis on advanced analysis and modeling tech-niques of multimodal imaging (functional, structural. perfusion MRI, PET) and behavioral data (e.g. models for reinforcement learning or habits) is available for a highly creative and motivated individual at the Section of Systems Neuroscience, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. This position will be an opportu-nity for you to contribute to ongoing and future research projects and to develop your own research focus. Initial funding has been secured for three years but a permanent position may be offered at a later time.
Salary is commensurate with experience according to the German public service pay scale TV-L, which includes social benefits such as health care and pension plans. The position will be available until filled with a desired starting date in January, 2011.
Our multidisciplinary group is dedicated to studying the neurobiology of normal human cogni-tion and the consequences of drug abuse and other mental disorders. Within the Technische Universität Dresden, the Section of Systems Neuroscience is closely associated with the Department of Psychology and the Neuroimaging Center, which offers excellent research collaborations and infrastructure, e.g. a 3 Tesla MRI scanner for full-time research, MRI-compatible EEG, and access to the PET center at Rossendorf. More information can be found on the lab web page: http://psychiatrie.uniklinikum-dresden.de/0440.html
The ideal candidate will have a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in computer science, mathematics, physics or life sciences. Solid mathematical skills and experience in the analysis of neuroi-maging data are required. In depth experience in computer programming, image/data analy-sis techniques (e.g. multivariate modeling approaches, connectivity analyses, …), computa-tional/statistical methods (e.g. machine learning) will be beneficial. Opportunities to learn and develop new methodological approaches will be plenty.
Interested applicants should send their CV, statement of research background, and names and contact information for two or three referees to: Prof. Dr. med. Michael Smolka, email: [log in to unmask] or Section of Systems Neuroscience, Technische Univer-sität Dresden, 01062 Dresden, Germany
