The Chair of Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience of Resilience was established in October 2025 and works closely with Professor Linke’s work group at the Leibniz Institute for Resilience Research<\/a>. In our research, we pursue a translational approach: from the investigation of basic mechanisms to clinical application and the development of practical, scalable offers for the general public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the area of basic research, we want to use neuroscientific methods such as fMRI and EEG to better understand central mechanisms of healthy development and resilience as well as identify neurobiological markers of stress-related symptoms. In particular, we focus on critical life stages such as adolescence, starting college, and parenthood, including high-risk groups such as people with minority identities (or background), teachers, and caregivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, we develop targeted short-term interventions that are evaluated in cooperation with the University Outpatient Clinic for Psychotherapy and Neuropsychology<\/a>. We are also working on scalable approaches to promote resilience in the general population.You can find out more about our research here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, participatory research is a central component of good science. We want to shape research together with the people for whom it is relevant and incorporate perspectives from the real world into our work at an early stage.

We are in harmony with the JGU’s mission statement, the values of tolerance, openness and equality<\/em><\/strong>. Diversity is very important to us and we are committed to creating a working environment where everyone feels included and encouraged to contribute their own life experiences and perspectives. A central component of our self understanding is the continuous reflection of our own biases and the role we play in maintaining structural barriers at the institutional and systemic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also strive to disseminate knowledge, make science more accessible and promote dialog with the public and policy makers<\/em><\/strong>. We regularly hold discussions, lectures, and workshops. If you are interested, you can find more information under “Offer & Participate<\/a>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we promote the application and further development of open scientific practices, such as the sharing of data and code and the preregistration of studies. In this way, we contribute to transparency and replicability in research.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
