FMRI DECODING OF CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS PROCESSING
1 Postdoctoral position
Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neural Sciences, Leipzig
One full-time postdoctoral position (BAT-OIIa) is available from for a
period of 2,5 years in the group of 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). The research group also is engaged in
close collaboration with the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience
Berlin and the Department of Neurology II at the University of Magdeburg,
which features a 7T human scanner. For further information and for
