Introduction
The German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) ( https://www.dife.de/en/ ) is a member of the Leibniz Association. The institute’s mission is to conduct experimental and clinical research in the field of nutrition and health, with the aim of understanding the molecular basis of nutrition-dependent diseases, and of developing new strategies for treatment and prevention.
The Junior Research Group of Gut-Brain Interactions (GBI) ( https://www.dife.de/en/research/departments-and-labs/gut-brain-interactions/ )invites applications for
1 Postdoc (m/f/d)
starting May 1, 2027.
Project description
The project investigates how signals from the stomach interact with brain systems supporting arousal, attention and cognition. Combining electrogastrography (EGG) with EEG, fMRI and peripheral physiology, we study the neural dynamics of stomach–brain coupling in healthy individuals. A central aim is to determine whether experimentally induced changes in arousal influence gastric–brain coupling independently of changes in gastric activity, and how these dynamics relate to vigilance and behaviour. The postdoc will lead electrophysiological and multimodal analyses, contribute to experiments involving pharmacological and physiological manipulations, and have scope to develop an independent research line within the programme.
