Preference will be given to candidates with experience with Fieldtrip or SPM data processing, knowledge of neural oscillatory analyses. Computer modelling would be favorable, as well as knowledge of auditory verbal hallucinations and temporal processing. Candidates should have published at least 3 papers in well-respected peer-reviewed journals. 4.
