Stellenangebot vom 7. Juli 2025
The aim of the MPI for Biological Cybernetics is to understand normal and dysfunctional information processing in the brains of humans and animals. We use experimental, theoretical and computational methods to elucidate the characteristics and implementations of the cascades of plastic and recurrent interactions that transform sensory data into perceptions, interoceptions, memories, appropriate choices of actions, and external and internal motor output. We are richly multidisciplinary, have excellent facilities for neuroimaging in humans and capacity for work in animal model systems. We have close links with neighbouring Max Planck Institutes and the University of Tuebingen that cover systems neuroscience, machine learning, and beyond. The working language of the Institute is English.
We seek to recruit two independent research groups working in relevant areas and collaborating with each other, departments at the Institute and beyond. Funding covers a set-up package, the position of the group
leader (equivalent to a German W2 professorship), one post-doctoral and one or two PhD student fellowships, a technician, secretarial support, plus consumables. It lasts in the first instance for 6 years,
with the possibility of a merit-based extension for 3 further years.
We seek talented candidates with successful track records who are interested in coming to build a Max Planck Research Group in this environment. Applications should include a CV, a list of publications, summaries of scientific achievements and research plans, and the names and contact details of three referees. Applications should be sent in PDF format no later than 15th August 2025 to: kyb-application@tuebingen.mpg.de
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an on-site interview on 11th November 2025.
The Institute and the Max Planck Society seek to enhance the proportion of women in areas where they are underrepresented, and they are therefore specially encouraged to apply. The Max Planck Society
aims to hire more disabled people, and applications from them are also most welcome.
Informal inquiries can be addressed to Peter Dayan via: kyb-inquiry@tuebingen.mpg.de
