Subject: 4-year Ph.D. Position in Neuroscience at the Donders Institute From: Bernhard Englitz <benglitz@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:41:23 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail=_2C43C7B5-EBDC-4FE9-ACB7-BEA32A92F37A Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Dear List, we are pleased to announce a 4-year Ph.D. position in the field of = neuroscience, with a focus on acquisition and computational analysis of = multilevel neural data. The position will be jointly supervised by Dr. = Englitz and Dr. Cohen. Please find the details of the call below. Best wishes, Bernhard & Mike Bernhard Englitz, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Neurophysiology Donders Centre for Neuroscience Faculty of Science, Radboud Universiteit Heyendaalseweg 135, 6525 AJ Nijmegen = --------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---------------------------------------------------------- Project: This project will involve a combination of EEG and lowlevel neural = recordings from multiple areas of the brain in rodents. Our focus will = be on the rapid patterns of electrical activity that are observed during = rest, sleep, and cognition. We will compare neural activity in multiple = brain regions to simultaneously recorded EEG activity, in order to = determine how these multiscale microstates are related to sensory = processing. Results from this project will help us understand how the = EEG signal is related to the complex spatiotemporal dynamics of the = brain, its neural computations, and their relation to sensory = perception. In turn, these findings will help lay groundwork for = individualized diagnosis of brain dysfunctions. Scientific Environment:=20 The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour consists of = three research centres, the Centre for Cognition, the Centre for = Cognitive Neuroimaging and the Centre for Neuroscience. The Donders = Institute focuses on state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience, in a = multidisciplinary approach, and offers excellent lab and neuroimaging = facilities.=20 The position will be jointly hosted at the Neuroinformatics and the = Neurophysiology departments, which together provide a high quality = neuroscience environment with facilities for chronic and non-chronic = many-channel recordings, imaging and computational modeling. The = research questions of the departments range from fundamental to applied, = and enable the interaction of theory and experimental work in a single = location. =20 The Donders Institute is an equal opportunity employer, committed to = building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and as such = encourages applications from women and minorities. Radboud University = offers a parental leave scheme and day care on campus. Qualifications: - MSc degree in computational neuroscience, mathematics, physics, = engineering or a related area. - Experience with programming and data analysis in Matlab/Python.=20 - Experience with quantitative analysis (e.g. linear algebra, = time-frequency analysis) - Experience with electrophysiology is considered a plus. - The applicant should have a pro-active attitude, good communication = skills, and be able to effectively work in a multi-disciplinary team.
