[Comp-neuro] FMRI Data Analyst Job Announcement

Within the newly established Collaborative Research Center
(„Sonderforschungsbereich" SFB 940) „Volition and Cognitive Control" the
Neuroimaging Center at the Department of Psychology in the Faculty of
Mathematics und Natural Sciences seeks to appoint a

Data Analyst/ Research Scientist, Ph.D. (salary E13 TV-L, 100%)

with a strong background in advanced neuroimaging methods (especially
functional connectivity)

The position is initially limited for 4 years.

Tasks: The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) "Volition and Cognitive
Control"
(http://tu-dresden.de/die_tu_dresden/fakultaeten/fakultaet_mathematik_und_naturwissenschaften/fachrichtung_psychologie/sfbo)
comprises 20 sub-projects and is funded by the German Science Foundation
(DFG) for an initial period of four years with a budget of over 10 Mill.
€. The overarching aim of the CRC is to combine expertise from
experimental psychology, cognitive-affective neuroscience, clinical
psychology, and psychiatry to investigate cognitive and neural
mechanisms of volitional control as well as volitional dysfunctions in
selected mental disorders. As a central component of SFB 940 a „Core
Imaging Facility" (CIF) will be established which serves to support and
inspire fMRI-based projects within the SFB 940. As part of the CIF team,
we seek to appoint a specialist for the analysis of large-scale
functional brain networks. This position is expected to be involved in a
wide range of co-operations related to both implementing established
functional connectivity methods as well as developing novel analytic
methods. The Department of Psychology houses a neuroimaging center with
a 3T Siemens Trio scanner exclusively dedicated to research. Besides an
engagement in research projects we also expect the candidate to take an
active role in training Ph.D. students on fMRI methods. Language for
daily research communication will be English.

Profile: We seek to appoint a person with a strong background in
computational neuroscience with profound mathematical knowledge who is
highly experienced and skilled in the multivariate analysis of
large-scale functional brain connectivity with in-depth expertise
ideally in more than one analytical technique applied to fMRI data (DCM,
ICA, SEM, GA, etc.).
