PhD Student

Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry
München
At the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, basic scientists and clinicians are working in close coopera­tion to understand the causes of complex diseases of the brain, searching for new preven­tion and treat­ment strategies. This trans­lational research strategy is suppor­ted by a modern psychia­tric research hospi­tal as well as a number of research depart­ments and research groups with expertise ranging from neuro­biological research methods as well as clinical and behavioral studies to molecular genetics and computa­tional approaches. The over­arching goal is to optimize the benefit of research advances for the patients by way of close and inno­vative net­working of basic research-oriented and clinical neuroscience.

The project group “Translational Deep Phenotyping” offers a position from March 1, 2024, as

PhD Student (m/f/div) in Fluid Biomarker Discovery and Validation in Translational Psychiatry

(20 hours per week)
Code: 8740

Your group

The MPIP Fellowship led by Prof. Dr. med. Falkai at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry focuses on developing transdiagnostic biomarkers across the spectrum of mental illness.

The project group “Translational Deep Phenotyping” explores and validates bio­markers that iden­tify and predict disease severity and treat­ment re­sponse in schizophrenia spectrum disorders and depression. This approach enhances the comprehension of mental illness patho­physiology through a highly inter­dis­ci­plinary, integrative, and multi­modal approach. We utilize multi-omics techni­ques, functional (epi)genomic approaches, and integrate phenotypic imaging, electro­physiology, and clinical data in our research. Moreover, patient-specific iPSCs data enrich our approach of trans­lational deep pheno­typing. Finally, as a trans­lational research group, we conduct diagnostic studies in clinical settings to bridge the trans­lational gap and test and apply our tools in clinical practice.

Our requirements

We are looking for a motivated, dynamic, and team-oriented PhD student proficient in molecular biology techniques, with some experience in data analysis techniques (not necessarily advanced), and who is eager to further develop skills in the field of data science.

• You have experience in basic molecular and optionally also in cell biology techniques
• You have beginner-intermediate level experience on the use of R or Python for data analysis
• You are a team player
• You work carefully and independently
• You have excellent skills in spoken and written English

What we offer

• Performing your PhD in a dynamic and vital interdisciplinary group
• Intensive training, supervision, and guidance
• State-of-the-art facilities
• Possibility to perform and learn integrative data analysis including DL, ML, and compu­tational modelling with various modalities (omics, cellular, imaging and electro­physiology data)
• The Max Planck Society offers a variety of training, soft skill and career-oriented courses
• Payment and benefits are based on the German TVöD Bund (Collective Agreement for the Public Service) guidelines

Your application

We look forward to your online application with the following documents:

• A cover letter along with a brief summary of your previous projects including wet lab and data analysis techniques
• Your complete CV including your publication list and your contact details
• We recommend to add at least two references
