Open Positions at the Brain Imaging Center Frankfurt

[Michael Wibral]

Dear Fieldtrip list users,

Dr. Peter Uhlhaas from the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Dept. Neurophysiology asked me to post these positions related to MEG research in patients with Schizophrenia and Autism spectrum disorder.


Michael Wibral


---------------------------------------------------

(1) *Postdoctoral Position in Brain Imaging*


A postdoctoral position in brain imaging is available at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Department of Neurophysiology (Director: Professor W. Singer) in the group of Dr. Peter J. Uhlhaas. The successful applicant will work on projects examining neural oscillations in schizophrenia with magnetoencephalography (MEG) with advanced signal-processing analyses (Beamforming, Transfer Entropy). Several data sets from unmedicated first-episode and chronic patients with schizophrenia as well autism spectrum disorders are already available. There is also opportunity to design novel experiments. The position is in collaboration with Dr. Michael Wibral (Head: MEG-Unit, Brain Imaging Center Frankfurt). 

The ideal candidate should have a PhD in neuroimaging and expertise with a neuroimaging technique (EEG, MEG, fMRI/MRI). Excellent research opportunities are available at the nearby Brain Imaging Center (2 x 3T MRI Scanners, MRI-compatible EEG and TMS). Applications from a physics or engineering background are welcome as well. Expertise in Matlab or C++ programming is desirable. The position will run for two years. The successful applicant will receive a stipend, depending on qualification and years of working experience. The position will start on the 1st of January 2010. 
  
Informal inquiries can be directed to Peter Uhlhaas (uhlhaas at mpih-frankfurt.mpg.de). To apply, please send curriculum vitae, letter of interest, names and contact information of two references to:
