The Collaborative Research Center (TRR379) on the Neuropsychobiology of
Aggression is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and starts October
2024. The TRR aims to identify biosignatures of aggression in mental disorders
based on multidimensional pathways that underlie the different manifestations
of aggression to enable the development of tailor-made biosignature-specific
prevention and intervention. The TRR integrates projects probing threat and
frustration processing and cognitive control. We seek to identify and define
cognitive mechanisms on a multilevel scale, advancing a detailed understanding
of the biology, psychology, and physiology of specific aggressive biosignatures
across mental disorders. Different projects translationally investigate
biological mechanisms via animal models or modulatory and mediating factors in
humans during development from early adolescence until adulthood as well as
over the course of the disease. Studies on the methodological and computational
bases are also part of the TRR. The clinical, longitudinal and developmental
approach, together with a large dataset offers attractive perspectives for
doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.
Doctoral researchers will be integrated into a transregional network providing
a structured extended curriculum offering not only a network of young
researchers, but also workshops, trainings, a lecture series and the option to
rotate into another lab.
Participants will be granted a (TL-13, 65%) position initially for a period of
3 years. The TRR is designed to allow participants to acquire a doctoral degree
(Dr. rer. nat., Dr. rer. medic., Dr. rer. med., Dr. sc. hum, PhD, Dr. rer.
physiol, depending on the university and faculty (Natural Sciences or Medicine)
depending on the primary institution where the doctoral candidate is affiliated
with.
Applicants for the doctoral stipends must hold a Master's degree or equivalent
in a related field, such as neuroscience, psychology, physics, medicine,
biology, biomedical sciences, be interested in neurobiological research of
aggression. Programming and clinical skills are advantageous. We foster the
inclusion of international candidates, however, we would like to stress that
for part of the clinical projects with patients, German-speaking candidates
have an advantage for projects with patient communication (diagnostics,
psychopathological assessment).
Due to the strong international orientation of the TRR, candidates should have
a sufficient command of the English language, both in writing and orally.
Further information on individual projects [is available at this site](/projects).
Applications should be addressed to the respective PI of the project to which the applicant refers and the spokesperson [Ute Habel](/contributors/ute-habel).

Applications can be submitted via email and should include a curriculum vitae
along with copies of degree certificates and two letters of recommendation.
Applicants are required to outline their future professional plans in a
personal statement, in which they describe how their plans relate to the
research topics of the TRR 379. At the TRR379, we are actively committed to
equity of opportunity, diversity, belonging and inclusion. We believe that
diversity in all its forms be it gender, age, ethnic background, religion,
sexual orientation, disability, or other personal characteristics enriches
our scientific culture and enhances our capacity for innovation. We are
convinced that different perspectives and experiences help us develop the best
solutions for our research initiative. Therefore, we explicitly invite
individuals from the whole spectrum of diversity to apply. Your unique
background and individual skills are a valuable contribution to our team. All
applications are treated equally regardless of personal characteristics, and
equal opportunity is actively promoted.
