Updated: over 1 year ago
Location: Germany,
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 16 Oct 2022

The German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) is a member of the Leibniz Association. The institute’s mission is to conduct experimental and clinical research in the field of nutrition and health, with the aim of understanding the molecular basis of nutrition-dependent diseases, and of developing new strategies for treatment and prevention.

1 PostDoc (m/f/d)

starting on as soon as possible.

The general aim of the department is to understand the complex mechanisms of human decision making. We investigate how the body interacts with the brain when humans make decisions. Their underlying mechanisms will be investigated in healthy and clinical populations. This highly interdisciplinary research requires a systematic combination of neural, (fMRI, EEG, NIRS), physiological (SCR, HR, Eye movements) and metabolic data (i.e. hormones).

Tasks

  • Conducting research projects focusing on the emergence of choices (e.g. sustainability or autonomy) and bodily factors influencing those choices
  • Planning and implementation of research projects and analysis of multimodal data (neuronal, physiological, metabolic and behavioral data) using current and innovative methods (e.g. behavioral modelling, MVPA)
  • Presentation of research results (in scientific journals, colloquia and conferences)

The advertised position is available for 3 years.
