Postdoctoral博士后Precision Medicine in Neuroscience

Description of field of application:

We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow of the highest quality for aworld-leading research programme to develop the framework of a novelpsychiatric taxonomy based on quantifiable neurobehavioural measures.This will be achieved by relating functional and structural neuroimagingmeasures as well as（epi-）genomic and environmental characterisations tobehavioural symptom groups in both cross-sectional and longitudinaldata. Being defined by shared neural mechanisms, these symptom groupswill provide markers for stratification and prediction of mentalillness. The work will involve an exceptional understanding of theneural correlates of behaviour, and extensive experience in the analysisof neuroimaging data using advanced statistics. There is an opportunityto work during part of the project at the German site of the PONS centreat the Charite in Berlin.
