in the area of rodent magnetic resonance functional-, perfusion- and diffusion tensor (DTI) imaging at 9.4 Tesla.

The Central Institute of Mental Health is equipped with a latest generation 210 mm horizontal bore Bruker BioSpec animal system and additional cryogenic MR coils for 1H and 13C detection in the mouse brain as well as two 3 Tesla human whole body MR-scanners.

The position is for three years initially and located in the research group Translational Imaging. Potential applicants should have a either a Ph.D. in physics, physical chemistry or in biology, neuroscience, or an equivalent field. The ideal candidate from the quantitative sciences has a solid background in NMR physics, signal detection and processing theory, and is familiar within the Bruker Paravision programming environment. Experience in other computer languages, Matlab or IDL, is desirable. Biologists and neuroscientists should have excellent skills in rodent experimentation including electrophysiology experience.

The primary field of research will be initially:
  • Establishment of a baseline functional imaging battery in rodents (rs-fMRI, CBF and CBV)
  • Cross-modal integration of electrophysiological and MR measures
  • Validation of rodent imaging models for drug discovery
The candidate would also collaborate on several ongoing animal studies of schizophrenia, depression, substance abuse and other psychiatric disorders in mouse and rat models. The assistance in the general supervision of the animal scanner would also be part of the position. More information can be found at http://www.zi-mannheim.de/transl_imaging.html.

We offer an interesting job in a leading research hospital with a strong emphasis on MR-Imaging, salary is according to the German TV-L pay scale, including the social benefits of the public service sector.
