[Comp-neuro] PhD position - computational modelling


Dear colleagues,

The Collaborative Research Center 1052 "Obesity mechanisms"  at the Leipzig
University Hospital is offering a PhD studentship in computational modelling
under the supervision of Dr Jane Neumann and Dr Annette Horstmann. The project
investigates decision-making and feedback-related processes in humans by combining
computational modelling with functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
behavioral assessment.

The PhD position will be based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive
and Brain Sciences
in the beautiful city of Leipzig. Both Leipzig‘s long tradition in
conducting neuroscientific research and the ultra-modern equipment at the Institute
provide an environment that offers new perspectives in neuroimaging research.

Applicants should hold a Master's degree in one of the following disciplines: computational
or cognitive neuroscience, computer science, mathematics, physics, cognitive science
or related. Prior experience in the field of computational neuroscience and/or neuroimaging
are of advantage. Sound knowledge of statistics  and excellent programming skills are
essential. A good command of written and spoken English is requested of all applicants.

Please send your application as a single pdf-file to neumann@cbs.mpg.de referring to
"SFB 1052, modelling". Complete applications include cover letter, CV, letter(s) of
recommendation, and copies of university degrees and additional certificates.

Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Jane Neumann (neumann@cbs.mpg.de)
(+49 (0) 341 99 40 26 21).

The salary is based on the German E 13 TV-L salary scale. In order to increase the
proportion of female staff members, applications from female scientists are particularly
encouraged. Disabled applicants are preferred if qualification is equal.

Deadline for application: until position is filled
