PhD Opportunity in the Department of Cognitive Neuropsychology

The Behavior Genetics Unit at the Department of Cognitive Neuropsychology is seeking candidates for a PhD Position with a fixed term of 36 months, offering a salary scale of 13 TVöD (65%).

This role involves collaboration with esteemed researchers, A/Prof. Dr. Miriam Mosing and Prof. Dr. Fredrik Ullén, to explore the intricate connections between creativity, substance use, and mental health within a population-based framework.

Despite prevalent discussions surrounding drug use in creative fields, empirical data regarding the associations between substance use and creativity remains sparse. This project aims to clarify these relationships, including the direction of effects and the potential influence of genetic factors.

Additionally, while a link between creativity and mental health issues has been documented, the impact of substance use on this connection is still not well understood. This research will leverage a longitudinal, genetically informative twin cohort to investigate these dynamics, taking genetic confounding into account.

Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Fredrik Ullén, the Department of Cognitive Neuropsychology at the MPIEA employs music as a model to examine the brain mechanisms that support human expertise, skill acquisition, and creativity.

Requirements:

  • A Master's degree in behavior genetics, psychology, public health, biostatistics, or a related discipline.
  • High proficiency in both oral and written English.
  • A robust background in statistical methods, including structural equation modeling, twin and family designs, and/or molecular genetics.
  • Experience in managing registry or large datasets is highly desirable.

The research will be conducted at the MPIEA in collaboration with the Swedish Twin Registry and Karolinska Institutet, as well as the Amsterdam University Medical Center (UMC). The MPIEA provides a highly interdisciplinary and international research environment, with English as the primary language of communication.

Expect a modern workplace equipped with flexible working hours and a supportive atmosphere. Regular travel for collaboration with partner institutions will be necessary.

Compensation is based on the Collective Agreement for the Public Service (TVöD Bund, E 13 [65%]), supplemented by an annual bonus.

The Max Planck Society is committed to promoting gender equality and diversity within its workforce, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds.

Application Materials:

Interested candidates should submit a detailed CV, a concise cover letter outlining their interest in the Behavior Genetics Unit's research, a summary of their Master's thesis, copies of relevant degrees, and contact information for two references.
