mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Our institute aims at
strengthening the understanding
of processes and mechanisms of human goal directed behavior in
the working
environment. A strong research program addressing biological
and/or
psychological determinants and effects of human behavior or
human movement in
the occupational context, possibly complemented with modeling
approaches (e.g.
animal models, computational models), would be particularly
welcome. We are
looking for scientists with an outstanding and internationally
recognized track
record of research in disciplines such as Cognitive or
Behavioral
Neurosciences, Human Movement Sciences, Psychology, or related
areas.
Successful experience in external grant funding is required.
Candidates should
have a concept and the capabilities to apply basic research to
challenges of
modern working environments and should be interested in
interdisciplinary
research integrating our major academic disciplines immunology,
toxicology/cell
sciences, and ergonomics. Experience in translational research
is highly
appreciated. The professorship is associated with the position
of a scientific
director at the institute. The successful candidate will receive
excellent
research conditions in an interdisciplinary environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

professorship will be well funded and equipped and is associated
with the
position of a scientific director at our institute. The
institute is prepared
to allocate a significant amount of space (at least 400 m<sup>2</sup>)
and
personnel for the professorship. Currently, a total of 10
positions are associated
with the professorship, of which 3 scientist-positions and 1
position for
technical personnel can be staffed upon appointment.
Additionally, the new
professor will have access to an excellent infrastructure, which
is shared by
the other working groups at the institute (Ergonomics, headed by
Prof. Edmund
Wascher; Toxicology, headed by Prof. Jan Hengstler; Immunology,
headed by Prof.
Carsten Watzl): Besides different highly established EEG-Labs,
the evolving
„Human-Machine Interaction Lab“ provides the opportunity to
simulate various
working environments and to investigate participants by numerous
measures such
as EEG, EMG, NIRS or motion tracking. For all these measurements
the institute
also possesses mobile equipment. Additionally, the basics for
virtual reality
and driving simulators of different complexity are available.
Other resources
include confocal and multi-photon laser scanning microscopes,
LC-MS,
multi-laser FACS analyzer and sorter, fluorescence time-lapse
video microscopy,
calcium imaging, cell culture facilities, including biosafety
levels S1 and S2,
and a small animal facility for mice and rats.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US"
lang="EN-US">Important
for a successful application are excellent research activities
in the fields of
experimental Psychology or Neuroscience, that are dealing with
the biological
and/or psychological basis of human behavior. While excellent
research and an
outstanding publication record are the most important criteria,
the candidate
should provide a concept how such basic research could be
translated and
applied to the mission of our institute (occupational research).
Ideally, such
a concept would highlight possible connections to other
disciplines present at
our institute such as ergonomics, toxicology/cell biology and/or
immunology. Applicants
who are mostly focused on basic research should not be
discouraged by these
specifications. It is our experience with previous appointments
that with the
help of the generous institutional support basic researchers can
successfully
establish additional applied research projects. If you are
uncertain about the
possible application of your line of research to the
occupational context or if
you have any questions about the focus of our institute, please
do not hesitate
to contact me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
