[FieldTrip] Postdoctoral position in human neuroimaging of sleep-dependent plasticity

[svenja.brodt at tuebingen.mpg.de]

Dear fieldtrip community,

 

I would like to draw your attention to an open postdoctoral position in our
lab:

 

The Brain States for Plasticity group (PI Svenja Brodt) is looking for a
postdoctoral fellow (m/f/d) to join our team at the Max Planck Institute for
Biological Cybernetics <https://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de>  in Tübingen,
Germany.

 

Our lab aims to understand how information is encoded and stored in the
human brain on a network level. Which brain networks contribute to
information storage across the entire lifecycle of a memory and how is
information distributed within these networks? How do different brain states
like sleep, wake and transitional states shape the architecture of memory?
What is the potential of different neuromodulatory, physiological and
cognitive factors for influencing memory formation and neuroplasticity? To
answer these questions, we combine behavioral paradigms with multimodal
neuroimaging methods (fMRI, dwMRI, sMRI, EEG) and multivariate analysis
techniques. You can find out more about our work at
https://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/brain-states-for-plasticity-en.

 

The project will explore the role of different sleep stages for functional
and microstructural reorganization and memory consolidation with the help of
multimodal MRI and simultaneous EEG-MRI in humans.

 

As part of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the
Tübingen Neuro Campus the group is situated within an ideal environment to
investigate information processing in the human brain. In addition to our
two state of the art sleep labs we have access to the institute’s MR
scanners at high and ultra high-field strength.

 

We are looking for a candidate with a recent doctoral degree (PhD) in
cognitive/systems neuroscience or data science with advanced signal
processing, statistical and programming skills. Experience in collection and
analysis of human MRI or sleep EEG data are strong assets. Fluency in
English is required, good command of German is desirable.

 

The salary is paid in accordance with the collective agreement for the
public sector (TVoeD Bund), according to your qualifications. The initial
contract will be for two years with a possibility for renewal.

The Max Planck Society endeavors to employ more severely handicapped people.
Applications of severely disabled persons are expressly desired. The Max
Planck Society strives for gender and diversity equality. We welcome
applications from all backgrounds.

 

The position is available from August 2024 and will remain open until
filled. Please send your CV including publication list and contact details
for 2-3 references to Dr. Svenja Brodt (svenja.brodt at tuebingen.mpg.de).
