FMRI DECODING OF CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS PROCESSING
2 Postdoctoral positions
Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neural Sciences, Leipzig
Two full-time postdoctoral stipends are available for a period of 2 years in
the group of Dr. John-Dylan Haynes at the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive
and Neural Sciences, Leipzig. Research focuses on functional brain imaging
of conscious and unconscious human cognitive processing in the domains of
perception, attention and executive control. A variety of methods are used
including behavioural and psychophysical measurements, functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI), and EEG/MEG recordings in humans. The specific
projects will build on previous work using multivariate pattern recognition
applied to human brain responses to decode conscious and unconscious
processing in various cognitive domains. Experience in cognitive
neuroscience and neuroimaging and familiarity with neuroimaging analysis
platforms (such as SPM or BrainVoyager) are desirable, as well as
mathematical and scripting skills (especially MATLAB). The positions require
a PhD in a relevant field, such as neuroscience, cognitive science,
cognitive psychology or computer science/mathematics. The successful
candidate will play a key role in designing, conducting and analysing
experiments and will work as part of a multi-disciplinary research team. The
position offers excellent training in advanced aspects of neuroimaging (such
as cortical flattening, retinotopic mapping, connectivity analysis,
multivariate analyses). For further information and applications please
contact Dr. John-Dylan Haynes (Email: [log in to unmask]).
