About this position
International Max Planck Research School on Cognitive NeuroImaging (IMPRS CoNI) is a doctoral programme based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, offered in cooperation with Leipzig University, the Technical University of Dresden, and the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.
The programme is designed for doctoral researchers interested in the highly interdisciplinary study of human neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging. Research themes span human cognition, clinical and translational neuroscience, and the development of novel methods in neuroimaging, computational neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.
Students work in an environment that combines international expertise, structured doctoral training, and access to advanced research infrastructure. The school highlights cutting-edge methods including MRI, EEG, MEG, PET-MRI, near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, direct current stimulation, and high-performance computing for modelling and data analysis. The programme also includes modules, advanced courses, practical exercises, summer schools, retreats, workshops, hybrid teaching, and opportunities to contribute to a collaborative research culture.
IMPRS CoNI emphasises interdisciplinary supervision and training across its partner institutions, aiming to provide a comprehensive research environment for doctoral projects in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging.
