Doctoral Position - Computational Neuroimaging

We are looking for a Doctoral Researcher in Computational Neuroimaging with focus on imaging genetics/transcriptomics to join the research group of Prof. Dr. Christine Ecker in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt. The successful applicant will be involved in research projects focusing on the integration of multi-modal human magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and genetic and/or transcriptomic data in the context of neurodevelopmental conditions. Conduct state-of-the-art research into the molecular underpinnings of aggression in mental health conditions and work as part of a DFG-funded study entitled 'Transcriptomic Subtyping of Imaging-derived phenotypes in autism' ( https://gepris-extern.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/551579379 ). Develop novel analytical frameworks for integrating Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data with genetic and/or transcriptomic data to enhance mechanism-based approaches for stratifying mental health conditions. Apply techniques to existing and newly acquired large-scale cohorts (clinical and non-clinical) to stratify mental health conditions for personalized medicine approaches. Dissemination of research findings in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
