FMRI DECODING OF CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS PROCESSING
2 Postdoctoral positions available at the 
Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin

Two full-time postdoctoral positions are available from now for a period of
3 years in the group of Prof. John-Dylan Haynes at the Bernstein Center for
Computational Neuroscience Berlin. Research focuses on functional brain
imaging of conscious and unconscious human cognitive processing in the
domains of perception, attention and executive control. A variety of methods
are used including behavioural and psychophysical measurements, functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and EEG/MEG recordings in humans. Further
information on our research can be found on our website
(http://www.cbs.mpg.de/~haynes). The specific projects will build on
previous work using multivariate pattern recognition applied to human brain
responses to decode conscious and unconscious processing in various
cognitive domains. Experience in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging and
familiarity with neuroimaging analysis platforms (such as SPM or
BrainVoyager) are desirable, as well as mathematical and scripting skills
(especially MATLAB). The positions require a PhD in a relevant field, such
as neuroscience, cognitive science, cognitive psychology or computer
science/mathematics. The successful candidate will play a key role in
designing, conducting and analysing experiments and will work as part of a
multi-disciplinary research team. The position offers excellent training in
advanced aspects of neuroimaging (such as cortical flattening, retinotopic
mapping, connectivity analysis, multivariate decoding, information-based
brain mapping). Please direct applications per email before 15th June to
Margret Franke ([log in to unmask]).
