We are currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral position in
an fMRI project.
The project will investigate the influence of motivational and
perceptual factors on category learning and reward learning using fMRI.
Our department offers a research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner with
eye-tracking and peripheral physiology equipment. The project is part of
the Collaborative Research Centre SFB/TRR 135 under the umbrella theme
“Cardinal mechanisms of perception: Prediction, valuation,
categorization” (www.sfb-perception.de). The Collaborative Research
Centre offers a creative, cooperative environment uniting leading
experts in vision research.
The successful candidate will be responsible for collecting and
analyzing fMRI data using computational models of learning and
decision-making, writing scientific papers and teaching in biological
psychology according to the teaching regulations of Hesse. We encourage
research visits in collaborating research groups abroad (Princeton
University, PI: Yael Niv).
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a PhD in
neuroscience, psychology, biology or a related field. Candidates should
have good programming skills and experience with fMRI and/or with
computational modeling of learning or decision making.
The lab is located in Giessen, just 70 km north of Frankfurt (Main),
Germany. For further information, please contact
