Postdoc - Clinic for Psychiatry­­,­­ Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy

"Knowledge becomes health" - we are filling this motto with life every day, developing new ideas and improv-ing old-established knowledge. The University Hospital Frankfurt has existed since 1914. Our around 8,500 employees contribute with their skills and knowledge to the 33 specialist clinics, theoretical clinical institutes, and administrative departments. The close connection of health care with research and teaching, as well as a climate of collegiality, internationality, and cross-professional cooperation characterize the university hospital. The Department of Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy is part of the Center for Mental Health at Universitätsmedizin FRankfurt. With nine wards, two day clinics and a large outpatient clinic, we are responsible for the treatment of all types of mental illness in adulthood. For the research group «Neurometabolic Circuits» we are looking for a dedicated Postdoc as of 01.02.2024. We investigate the interaction between brain and body in psychiatric disorders. To gain a deeper understanding of the influence of peripheral metabolism on mood states and behavior, we use MRI imaging, behavioral assessment, metabolic profiling and inflammatory profiling.
