The ‘Cognitive Neuroimaging Lab’ of Dr Uta Noppeney at the Max Planck
Institute for Biological Cybernetics is seeking excellent PhD and
Postdoctoral research associates in the field of multisensory
integration. We combine psychophysics, functional imaging (fMRI, EEG/MEG
& TMS) and models of Bayesian inference and learning to characterize the
neural and computational mechanisms underlying multisensory integration.
Effective connectivity analyses are used to investigate how information
from the senses is integrated through distinct interactions amongst
brain regions.
The Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics provides an
excellent multi-disciplinary, interactive and very collaborative
research environment combining expertise in neurophysiology (Prof. Nikos
Logothetis), psychophysics (Prof. Heinrich Bülthoff), machine learning
(Prof. Bernhard Schölkopf) and development of MRI methodology. PhD
students will have the opportunity to participate in the International
Max Planck Research School for Neural and Behavioural Sciences
(http://www.neuroschool-tuebingen.de/).
Applicants should have a master/diploma or equivalent degree in
neuroscience, psychology, computer science, physics or related areas.
Prior experience in functional imaging, MatLab, data analysis and/or
machine learning would be an advantage. The PhD/PostDoc positions are
funded by a MPI stipend or equivalent salary according to German Public
service regulations.
