Beschreibung: The Division of Psychological and Social Medicine and Developmental Neurosciences is active in
research, teaching and patient care. We ensure the training of students in medical psychology and
medical sociology at the Medical Faculty and conduct research on topics related to the neuroscientific foundations of human experience and behavior in the context of illness and health.



Research Associate / PhD Student (f/m/x)
ID: 740



This PhD position is available immediately for an initial period of up to three years, with potential for extension. The position is compensated according to the collective agreement for the public service of the Länder (TV-L), with eligibility for salary group E13 TV-L (implemented as part-time employment) based on candidate qualifications.

The Division of Psychological and Social Medicine and Developmental Neurosciences at the Medical
Faculty of TU-Dresden invites applications for a Research Associate (PhD) within the Translational
Developmental Neuroscience Section. The group's research focuses on the biological mechanisms
that promote the development and maintenance of eating and weight disorders, assessed through
cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques such as MRI, along with neurophysiological, neuropsychological, and biochemical methods, as well as ecological momentary assessment.

Additional ongoing projects since 2010 include research on autism, affective disorders, and
schizophrenia. Importantly, our team places a strong emphasis on data science, applying multivariate techniques such as machine learning and computational models to interpret complex behavioral data and connect them to their neurobiological underpinnings. For more information, please visit our website or transdenlab.de.

Potential research projects may involve the study of cognitive, affective, and metabolic mechanisms
underlying eating disorders, utilizing structural and functional MRI data. Many of these projects are
part of large international collaborations under the Eating Disorders Working Group within the
ENIGMA Consortium, where the principal investigator is a co-leader. This position offers a unique
opportunity for the selected candidate to engage in short-term research stays abroad and collaborate
with world-renowned neuroimaging experts, including the central ENIGMA team at USC, Los Angeles.
In addition to analyzing data, the candidate will also coordinate the analysis of data from other
participating sites within the ENIGMA consortium. More details about the consortium and its projects
can be found at the website. The successful candidate will present research results at international conferences and publish them in high-impact scientific journals.

In addition to research, the selected candidate will support the supervision of interns and medical
students within the project. The candidate will have access to multiple learning and training
opportunities through the International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2773 and Collaborative
Research Center (CRC) 393, in which the working group is involved. If desired, participation in
structured graduate programs, such as those offered by the Graduate Academy, is also possible. The
position provides the opportunity for further scientific training, leading to the completion of a doctorate (PhD), and the acquisition of expertise in medical psychology, with the possibility of contributing to teaching within human medicine.
