The Max Planck Institute is offering two fully-funded PhD positions focusing on the biophysical mechanisms of MRI contrast, metabolism, and neurovascular coupling in brain activation and deactivation. Under the supervision of Professor Harald Möller, candidates will explore the physics behind MRI contrast and investigate the relationship between brain metabolism and neurovascular responses. Candidates with a master's degree in related fields and proficiency in programming (C++, Matlab, Python) are encouraged to apply. Prior experience in NMR or MRI is not mandatory.
