We are currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral position in
the lab of Bianca Wittmann at the University of Giessen, Germany, just
70 km north of Frankfurt.
The project will investigate the interaction of attentional processes
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 the state of Hesse.
We offer funding for research visits in collaborating research groups
abroad (e.g. 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 prior publications using fMRI and/or
computational modeling of learning or decision making.
