Vision Systems Physiology group
(http://ltl.tkk.fi/wiki/BRU/Vision_Systems_Physiology) has funding
available for a PhD or a postdoctoral student. Earlier experience about
visual system or matlab programming would be helpful. We are part of
Brain Research Unit at Low Temperature Laboratory in Helsinki University
of Technology. The work would target cortical physiology with brain
imaging and aim to understand visual information processing at systems
level. Our group works mainly with functional magnetic resonance imaging
and has excellent access to research-dedicated 3 T magnet. In addition,
whole-head magnetoencephalography is available for temporal resolution
when necessary. We have close collaboration with groups in Helsinki
University who work on visual psychophysics and computational modeling
of vision.
The university is located in Espoo, Otaniemi campus, and forms a calm
and research friendly environment with significant amount of foreign
students. Finland is known for an excellent infrastructure for families
and Helsinki region houses multiple international schools. Helsinki
University of Technology, together with Helsinki School of Economics and
the University of Art and Design Helsinki will be part of a new
foundation-based Aalto University at the end of next year. The new
university aims to nourish a student centered culture and high-quality
research.
If you are interested, please send CV and a letter of recommendation
before 10th December to Simo Vanni, AMI centre, PO Box 3000, 02015-TKK,
Espoo, Finland, or by e-mail to vanni [ a t ] neuro.hut.fi. Please do
not hesitate to ask for more information.
