Two ERC-funded postdoc positions in computational psychiatry
80-100 % 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 responsibilities The successful candidates will have the chance to take a leading role in an exciting and timely international project, working together with a motivated and diverse team in Zurich and with investigators over three international sites. In addition, the candidate will have the opportunity to conduct analyses of behavioral and imaging data, disseminate study results in peer-reviewed journals, and supervise graduate and undergraduate students. The candidate will take part in ongoing projects and initiate new research within the team of Prof. Philipp Homan, who is also a Neuroscience Center Zurich (ZNZ) group leader.
