The main objective is translational research, which aims to transfer research results as quickly as possible to improve diagnostics and therapy.

The focus of the advertised position is the investigation of the interactions of cognitive, endocrine and immunological mechanisms for mental health - in particular for reward behavior (e.g. effort-/ valuebased mechanisms) and depressive symptoms. Possible further research projects could include emotion regulation and its neuronal correlates (fMRI) in affective disorders and eating disorders.

There is the possibility of an integrated stay abroad and further academic training culminating in a PhD.
Your work also will include the guidance and supervision of research interns, student assistants and medical students within the project. The results will be presented at international conferences and published in scientific journals.

Requirements:

  • an aboveaverage degree in psychology, cognitive and/or affective neuroscience, psychiatry or a related field
  • previous experience in research activities within the past years (e.g. publications as first or co-author)
  • previous exposure to neurosciences/neurobiology and experience in the analysis of imaging data (e.g. FSL, SPM, FreeSurfer), in computational modeling as well as basic knowledge of computer programming (e.g. Linux/Unix shell scripting, Python or MATLAB) are of advantage but not a pre-condition
  • keen interest in mental disorders
  • strong organizational skills
