Post -doc position in the Emmy -Noether project " FEAR PROFILES "

The position is part of an Emmy Noether grant awarded to Dr. Tina Lonsdorf. More information on
Tina Lonsdorfs group, which she leads since 2013, can be found under www.lonsdorflab.com .
The position is part of the project FEAR PROFILES which aims to utilize population heterogeneity
(variance ) as a unique opportunity and promising starting point to advance mechanistic insights into
fear and anxiety related processes . The project goes way beyond tradi tional confirmatory or refusive
inves tigations on a -priori th eories and focuses on variance that has been largely neglected as ‘residual
variance’ or studied in isolation to date .
The project will be conducted by a team including the PI, a post -doctoral researcher , a PhD student
and a study psychologist . The post -doctoral researcher will thereby implement a series of systematic,
multi -methodological and -variate studies that combine well -established experimental paradigms
with cutting -edge technical tools and methodo logical advances (such as parallel EMG -fMRI data
acquisition, Virtual Reality). Experimental paradigms focus for instance on fear, anxiety as well as their
generalization , avoidance as well as habituation processes and emotional memory .
We are located at the Department of Systems Neuroscience (Head: Prof. Christian Büchel ), which is
part of the University Medical Center Hamburg -Eppendorf in Hamburg (Germany).
The Department of Systems Neuroscience offers an interdisciplinary and international research
environment, a re search -dedicated 3 -T MR Scanner (PRISMA), Virtual -Reality laboratories as well as
excellent facilities for behavioral testing and psychophysiological studies. In addition, the institute
offers excellent training opportunities ( https://goo.gl/pU44vP and https://goo.gl/uvt2L5 ).
Optimal starting date for the position is 15.2.2019 but starting date is negotiable . The position is
initially granted for 3 years with the possibility of exte nsion for additional 3 years (3+3 years). Salary
depends on experience and is based on German regulations (TVL13, 100%). Applications will be
accepted until the positions are filled . The first review of applications will be in the beginning of
October 2018 . The group is committed to maintaining a diverse and inclusive environment.

The optimal candidate will have:
• Completed a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, or a related discipline.
Candidates will be considered if they are close to finish the PhD.
• Strong programming skills (e.g., Matlab, R).
• Experience in conducting and analyzing neuroimaging experi ments.
• Experience in conducting and analyzing behavioral experiments with human participants .
• Excellent skills in English (written and oral).
• Strong interest in affective neuroscience, fear/anxiety research and individual differences.
• Exp erience in writing and publishing peer reviewed scientific pa pers.
• Enjoys to analyze large datasets composed of different modalities.
• Ex perience with Virtual Reality experiments and/or psychophysiology is a plus.
• Experience with ‘Mplus’ (latent variable modeling program) is a plus.

Please send your application as a single pdf document to t.lonsdorf@uke.de . Please include the
following documents: CV including contact details, copy of masters degree, a brief research statement
as well as contact information of two academic referees.
