Computer Science, Neuroscience, Physics, Biology or a related area and be
willing to collaborate intensively with people from other fields in this list.
Experience in anatomical MRI (data acquisition, processing, statistics) and

The successful candidate will join the Independent Junior Research Group
“Neuroimaging” (Dr. Christian Gaser) at the department of Psychiatry. The
department has excellent research facilities including an on-site,
research-dedicated Siemens Tim Trio 3T MRI scanner.
Salary will be according to the German public service scale EG 13/2
TV-L (PhD Student, i.e. 50%). The appointment is initially for 2 years
with an option of extension up to 4 years and is available
immediately. Applications will be considered until the position is
