A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available at the Max Planck Institute for Human
Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI-CBS) in Leipzig, Germany. The objective of the
postdoctoral research project is to use high-resolution functional and structural magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) to understand the role of subcortical sensory structures in human
perception and communication.
The MPI-CBS is an internationally leading centre for cognitive and imaging neuroscience
equipped with a 7.0 T MRI scanner, several 3.0 T MRI scanners, a 306 channels MEG system,
TMS, tDCS, several EEG suites, and eye-tracking labs. All facilities and data analyses are
supported by experienced IT specialists and physicists. Besides an excellent
infrastructure, our institute offers an international and friendly environment with
researchers from diverse backgrounds. The postdoc will be member of the group "Neural
Mechanisms of Human Communication" led by Katharina von Kriegstein.
The candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, experimental psychology,
biology, or a related field, and should be able to demonstrate a consistently outstanding
academic record, including publications. The ideal candidate will have expertise in the
acquisition and analysis of neuroscientific data. Prior experience with high-resolution
functional or structural MRI is preferred.
The starting date for this position is flexible. Initially for two years, the position
offers the possibility of extension for up to four years. Salary depends on experience and
is based on regulations of the Max Planck Society.
