Applications are invited for a PhD-student position in the Independent Junior
Research Group “Neuroimaging” at the University of Jena, Germany.
The focus of the group is on developing new methods for computational brain
morphometry and on their application to the study of structural brain plasticity
from both medical and evolutionary perspectives. The focus of the PhD position
is on schizophrenia research and patient classification using computational
morphometry but there is room for adapting the project to the interests and
skills of the incumbent (e.g. towards comparative morphometry).
The candidate should have a Master’s degree in Psychology, Mathematics,
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
programming skills (Matlab, C/C++) are desirable.
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
filled.
