PhD Position - Translational Neuroscience

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Area of research: . PHD Thesis. Job description: PhD Position - Translational Neuroscience . We are looking for a PhD candidate to join the Multimodal Imaging in Clinical Neuroscience department at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine – Medical Imaging Physics (INM-4). You will work in the field of translational neuroscience and precision psychiatry under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Irene Neuner and Dr. Ravichandran Rajkumar. The brain mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders are poorly understood, and treatment choices are largely symptom-based. In this project, you will use multimodal neuroimaging and computational neuroscience to study how brain networks change in these disorders. The aim is to identify imaging biomarkers that could support earlier diagnosis, predict disease trajectories at an individual level and help match treatment to the patient. A key resource is our MINDset platform (Multimodal Imaging Infrastructure for Neuroscience Data Science), which consolidates over 1,000 multimodal datasets from clinical studies, including structural and functional MRI, PET, EEG, fNIRS, neuropsychological and clinical measures, and digital phenotyping. Your Job . The successful candidate will have the opportunity to combine prospectively acquired data with existing multimodal datasets and contribute to replication studies, biomarker development, machine learning application
