PhD STUDENT POSITION IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE
The Department of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology (Head: Prof. Dr. Andreas
K. Engel) at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (Germany) invites
applications for a PhD student position which is available for 3 years, starting in April
2008.
The position is funded by the European Union as part of the international research
project „BrainSync – Large scale interactions in brain networks and their breakdown
in brain diseases“ and is devoted to studying „default state“ networks and
sensorimotor interactions in normal volunteers and patients with multiple sclerosis
using EEG, MEG and fMRI. The project involves cooperations with partner groups in
the UK, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and the Czeck Republic. The
selected candidate will have the opportunity for research visits to the partner
laboratories.
Main research interests of the Department of Neurophysiology are the dynamics of
distributed sensory processing, intermodal and sensorimotor integration, as well as
theories of perception, action and consciousness. Current projects involve
EEG/MEG/fMRI studies in humans or physiological studies in animals. Further
information on research at the Department of Neurophysiology can be obtained at
http://www.uke.uni-hamburg.de or http://www.40hz.net.
Applicants should have a background in psychology, medicine, biology or
neuroscience. Fluency in English and German is required. Experience in human
imaging studies or biosignal analysis is desirable.
