On behalf of Prof. Martin Dichgans:
The Imaging in Stroke and Dementia programme at the Department of Neurology, Klinikum Großhadern, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich invites applications for a full-time
PhD position / Post-doctoral Position in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The focus of our research programme is on translational approaches to explore the neural correlates of cognitive and behavioural dysfunctions in vascular cognitive impairment. An ongoing longitudinal study involving more than 250 patients with a genetic variant of stroke and VCI grants access to a unique resource of multimodal MR imaging data (FA-and MD maps from DTI, 3DT1, FLAIR etc. available) and comprehensive neuropsychological test results (see www.neurogenetik.de and publication record). We are increasingly interested in voxel-based-morphometry (VBM) and more advanced techniques to explore structure-function relationships.
There is direct access to several MR scanners operating at 1.5 to 3.0 Tesla. Research activities are embedded in a center of highly productive MR imaging research groups at Campus Großhadern.
Applicants should have a background in MRI analysis techniques (FSL, SPM, Matlab etc.), programming and statistics. Interest in clinical neuroscience and cognitive function would be appreciated. Applicants will have the opportunity to pursue their own projects. The position is funded for 3 years with an option to renew.
Salary will be based on qualifications with provision for bonuses. The position is available Fall 2008.
To apply please send a CV and the names of 2 referees to Prof. Martin Dichgans, e-mail: martin.dichgans@med.uni-muenchen.de or phone: ++49-89-7095-6670.
