Open PhD Position: Decoding of complex movements from the human brain.
University of Oldenburg, Germany. Fellowship: 1500 €/mo. Initially 2yrs. Start date: 04/01/2013.
Current brain decoding approaches for motor brain machine interfaces often rely on decoding of simple movement kinematics. One reason for this is that the coding of complex movements in the human cortex is currently poorly understood. The project aims to combine non-invasive and invasive recordings of human brain activity with movement tracking to decode complex movements (e.g. grasping of objects) from brain activity. The position offers an excellent interdisciplinary working environment with opportunities for international research stays. More information on the research in the lab can be found at: http://www.psychology.uni-oldenburg.de/57908.html.
Duties on the candidate:
* To design, carry out and analyse experiments comprising combined movement tracking and physiological recordings.
* To prepare scientific manuscripts on his/her research.
Desired experience of the candidate:
* Academic Master's or comparable degree and strong experimental and quantitative skills.
* Prior experience in one or more of the fields of non-invasive human neurophysiology of the motor system, statistical learning or brain-machine-interfacing would be helpful.
Application
Applications should include your CV, certificates, and a list of most recent publications. Applications for this position should be sent under identification 'SigCog11'. The University of Oldenburg aims to employ more women in this area and therefore particularly welcomes applications from women. We also welcome applications from disabled persons.
