The newly forming, independent Max Planck Research Group "Social Neuroscience" led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. Leonhard Schilbach at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany invites applications for
a PhD/Postdoc Stipend in Social Neuroscience
a Postdoc Position in Social Neuroscience
a Method Developer/Biomedical Engineer Position
These positions are fully funded as part of a 5-year funding scheme as Max Planck Research Group Leader awarded by the Max Planck Society to Dr. Schilbach.
The research of this newly forming social neuroscience group at the MPI of Psychiatry aims to provide a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of real-time social interaction. To this end, the group combines functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with real-time analyses of eyetracking data to generate truly interactive paradigms, which allow studying the neural mechanisms of participation in (gaze-based) social interaction and comparing them to the neural correlates of social observation. In close collaboration with the renowned Max Planck Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Neurology, another important aim of the group is to investigate commonalities and differences of disorders-associated changes in the neurofunctional systems relevant for social interaction and interpersonal coordination across different patients groups.
The Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry (http://www.psych.mpg.de/) offers an international research environment with English being spoken at the Institute. It offers an excellent neuroimaging and psychophysiology infrastructure (e.g. human 3T MRI, behavioral and eyetracking laboratory, etc.) and has strong links to the renowned MPI Clinic of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Neurology. Munich is located in the South of Germany, close to various lakes, the Alps, Austria, Switzerland and Italy and is noted for its international character and high quality of life.
