About this position

The Department of Psychology at the University of Zurich invites applications for a four-year PhD position in psychiatric neuroscience, focused on functional brain organization in autism.

Led by Dr. Dorothea Floris, the project investigates individual differences in brain network organization in autism using precision functional mapping, computational approaches, and large-scale longitudinal resting-state fMRI datasets. The doctoral researcher will examine how functional brain organization varies in relation to autism, age, sex, and clinical and biological measures.

The research will involve advanced resting-state fMRI analysis, multivariate and data-driven methods for identifying reproducible subtypes, and the development of reproducible analysis workflows. The position also includes contributions to open-source code and documentation, scientific presentations, peer-reviewed publications, and supervision of Bachelor’s and Master’s students within the research group.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international research environment within the University of Zurich and the Neuroscience Center Zurich, with access to large-scale datasets, international collaborators, advanced neuroimaging training, scientific writing and career development support, close supervision, and opportunities for first-author publications.
