The successful candidate will use human EEG and behavioural measures to investigate neural mechanisms underlying auditory predictive processes. The position is part of the Young Independent Researcher Group "Dynamates", working on dynamic auditory predictions in humans and marmoset monkeys. This interdisciplinary project combines computational modelling, cognitive neuroscience and cognitive biology to study how humans and monkeys use auditory information when making predictions about the future. For more details, please visit the Dynamates website [1]. The Ph.D. student will also be included in the Vienna Doctoral School network CoBeNe [2]. Responsibilities: * Independently conduct human EEG and behavioural experiments (including designing and programming experiments, collecting and analysing the data) * Communication of results in scientific publications and at scientific meetings * Close collaboration with the other members of the project * Co-supervision of MSc and BSc students Profile: * Master's degree or diploma in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience or a related field * Strong interest in EEG methodology, auditory perception and predictive processing * Very good command of written and spoken English * Experience with EEG or MEG signal processing and analysis is highly advantageous * Strong statistical skills and experience with coding (e.g. Matlab, R, SPSS) are advantageous * Flexibility, ability to work independently as well as in a scientific team are important Application documents: * Letter describing motivations, personal qualifications and research interest * Academic CV including a list of publications and presentations * Contact details of two referees Extent of Employment: We offer a part-time position (30h/week), initially limited to 3 years.
