The Department of Cognitive Neuroscience at Bielefeld University,
Germany, is advertising a 3-year Postdoctoral position, and a 3-year PhD
position in auditory and multisensory neuroimaging studies.
We are looking to fill two 3-year positions to
complement our research on auditory or multisensory perception based on a
combination of behavioural, neuroimaging (EEG) and statistical modelling techniques.
The Department for Cognitive Neuroscience is
dedicated to understanding the integration of sensory information in the brain.
The planned studies use state of the art EEG imaging, combined with eyetracking,
psychophysical paradigms, and substantive quantitative data analysis to better
understand when and how the brain transforms sensory information into a
conscious percept. Further details about our research can be found on our website
http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/biologie/cns/
The positions involve all aspects of study design, implementation,
data collection, data analysis and the write up of results. Contributions to
the supervision of student projects or the preparation of practical courses are
expected.
Applicants should have a background in neuroscience, cognitive
science, psychology, mathematics, or a relevant discipline. Applicants for the
post-doc position should have a doctoral degree or equivalent title in a
relevant discipline. We are especially interested in devotion to advanced
quantitative data analysis including the capabilities to program or modify
analysis code. The ideal applicant will have a strong analytical background and
direct experience using MATLAB software. Applicants should have enthusiasm, and
a clear, demonstrable capacity for acquiring expertise in these techniques.
The positions are funded for 3 years starting ideally in April 2018,
at Germany salary grades TV-L E13 (100% for post-doc, 65% for PhD student).
