Ph.D. student (f/m/d) in functional brain imaging (fMRI, PET) 65%

The Herfert Laboratory at the Werner Siemens Imaging Center at the University of Tuebingen offers a position for a highly motivated

Ph.D. student (f/m/d) interested in molecular and functional brain imaging (fMRI, PET) 65%

The contract is initially limited to one year, with the aim of further extension after a successful evaluation.

In our projects, we apply simultaneous PET and BOLD-fMRI to study molecular and functional changes at rest and after pharmacological or optogenetic stimulations in rodent models of neurodegenerative disorders.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated scientist, who is eager to work and evolve in a highly interdisciplinary environment with chemists, biologists, physicists, and physicians. The potential candidate is required to have a Master degree in Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, computer science, mathematics or related fields with Matlab programming skills and interest to perform in vivo experiments in the lab. Experience in image data analysis, in particular BOLD-fMRI and PET is preferable, but not a requirement.
