The Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (MPI-BI) is one of more than 80 independent research institutions within the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science. The Institute operates at two locations southwest of Munich: Seewiesen and Martinsried. Approximately 500 staff members from over 50 countries investigate the fundamentals of how organisms adapt to constantly changing environments and achieve complex goals, abilities we call “biological intelligence”.
Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) in Small-Animal MRI and Cross-Species Neuroimaging
The Technical University of Munich, TUM University Hospital, and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (MPI-BI) are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), biological/physiological sciences, and a strong interest in experimental work with small animals. The position is part of the interdisciplinary project WildBrain, which investigates how environmental transitions shape neural plasticity and behavioral individuality across mice and humans.
The successful candidate will join a collaborative team spanning TUM, MPI-BI (Martinsried/Seewiesen), the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (Berlin), and Technische Universität Dresden, and will work closely with experts in neuroimaging, behavioral neuroscience, and cross-species data integration.
You will be the lead scientist for small-animal MRI within the WildBrain project. Your key tasks include:
We are looking for an excellent and collaborative scientist with:
The Max Planck Society strives for gender equality and diversity. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society wants to increase the proportion of women in areas in which they are underrepresented. Women are therefore expressly encouraged to apply. The Max Planck Society has set itself the goal of employing more disabled people, who are thus explicitly encouraged to apply.
