Post-Doc and PhD Positions in Neuroimaging

The Gruber Lab invites applications for Post-Doc and PhD positions at the University of Göttingen and/or the University of Heidelberg.

Research in our laboratory focuses on human brain imaging of pathophysiological processes, genetic and epigenetic factors involved in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders, and on the development of neuroimaging biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic tools for treatment optimization. Our multimodal functional neuroimaging lab hosts a wide range of experimental facilities (fNIRS, EEG, TMS, tDCS, neuronavigation), and has access to a research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner. Large data sets on imaging genetics in healthy subjects and in schizophrenic and affective disorders have been acquired.

Successful candidates will become part of a highly motivated multidisciplinary team and will work on multicenter clinical research projects funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the European Union (EU) that investigate functional MRI biomarkers for the prediction of treatment responses in patients with affective and schizophrenic disorders. Some of the positions will be filled with clinical researchers, while others require significant mathematical skills and prior experience with multivariate methods.

We look for highly motivated researchers with a strong interest in biological psychiatry and the neurosciences. A degree in medicine, psychology, neuroscience, biology, mathematics, informatics, physics or related fields is required.

The positions are available immediately. Applications should include a cover letter, short CV, and a list of publications. Please send your application to Prof. Dr. Oliver Gruber, ogruber@gwdg.de (preferably as PDF document). Applications will be considered until all positions have been filled.
