Jobbeschreibung

Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,500 employees in one of Europe’s biggest research centers and help us to shape change!

The scientific focus of the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1) is on the organization of the human brain at its various spatial and temporal scales. To enable the multimodal analyses necessary to shed light on its organizational principles, scientists at the INM-1 are developing a 3D model of the human brain with highest spatial resolution that integrates cytoarchitecture, connectivity, molecular organization, and genetic and functional measurements. Within the INM-1, members of the research group “Receptors”, headed by Prof. Palomero-Gallagher, have a particular focus on the comparative analysis of the relationship between receptor architectonic and functional segregation patterns in the brain.
