ERC-funded PhD position in computational psychiatry

100 % :

In the context of a new ERC Synergy project (DELTA-LANG), our lab is interested in novel ways of phenotyping psychotic disorders, including quantitative analysis of language with large language models, combined with multimodal neuroimaging (model-based fMRI, neuromelanin imaging and others).

The goal is to design and implement novel paradigms (e.g. combined fMRI and speech production) and use methods such as machine learning, multilevel analyses and computational modeling to decompose behavioral performance into interpretable aspects of cognitive and perceptual processing.

Your profile:

  • Master's degree in a relevant field including computational linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science
  • Excellent selfmanagement skills
  • Experience with neuroimaging (experimental design and analysis) and computational linguistics
  • Experience with data management and programming (Python, R, Matlab, Stan etc.)
  • Commitment to Open Science and computational reproducibility
  • Excellent verbal and written English skills

What we offer:

  • To work in a diverse team of highly motivated young researchers who are passionate about computational linguistics, clinical psychiatry, cognitive neuroscience and date science
  • A competitive salary and generous social benefits
  • Generous support for professional travel and research needs
  • An inspiring work environment within the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Zurich and part of the Neuroscience Center Zurich (ZNZ)
  • The opportunity to live in Zurich, one of the world's most attractive cities
Please visit UZH for staff for further information.

Place of work:
Psychiatric University Hospital Zurich, Lenggstrasse 31, 8032 Zurich
