The research group for cognitive neuroscience at the university of Tromsø is looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate
who would like to build a career in the cognitive neurosciences. Our lab is based at the Institute of Psychology
at the University of Tromsø in the beautiful city of Tromsø, Norway.
The PhD will work in the project “Neural and computational correlates of mind wandering” which has the
ambitious goal to find brain correlates of mind wandering. The project potentially involves a multitude of
involved techniques and methods such as fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking, cognitive modeling and advanced statistical
analyses. The project is embedded in an active collaboration between the research group for cognitive neuro-
science at UiT and Birte Forstmann’s lab at the university of Amsterdam. Frequent and/or extended visits to
our collaborating group are planned.
The prospective candidate must hold a Master or equivalent in psychology, informatics, physics or other areas
relevant to the research project. Experience with any of the abovementioned techniques techniques will count
in favour of the candidate as will experience with programming in any programming language.
The research project is led by principal investigator Dr. Matthias Mittner and is embedded in the research
group of cognitive neuroscience at the institute of psychology at the university of Tromsø.
We encourage interested candidates to contact Matthias Mittner for further information about the project.
