UNIVERSITY OF HAMBURG
COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE LABORATORY, DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Cognitive
Neuroscience Laboratory (head: Dr. C. Buechel) at the Department of
Neurology, Hamburg University. The newly formed Cognitive Neuroscience
Laboratory is supported by major research grants from
Volkswagen-Stiftung and the EU.
The post-holder will have responsibility for projects using ERP, fMRI
and TMS to study mechanisms of associative learning and plasticity in
humans. In particular, functional integration of brain regions during
associative learning and attentional processing will be the major
research topic. EEG/MEG data will add valuable temporal information to
the analysis of effective connectivity of fMRI data and will be
combined with data on anatomical connectivity obtained through
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Applicants should have an interest in
the cognitive neuroscience of learning, plasticity and attention. Prior
experience in ERPs, fMRI or TMS and MatLab would be an advantage.
Salary will be according to BAT IIa.
Applications including the names of two referees should be sent to Dr.
Christian Buechel, Neurologische Klinik, Haus B,
Universitaets-Krankenhaus Eppendorf, Martinistr. 52,
D-20246 Hamburg, Germany.
Further information about the post can be obtained from Dr. C. Buechel,
Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory (email: [log in to unmask]).
