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.
