Dear Colleague,
I am forwarding this on behalf of Uta.
With many thanks - Karl
1. PhD/PostDoc - Computational
Cognitive Neuroimaging - Category Learning
Applications are invited for a PhD or PostDoc position in the Cognitive
Neuroimaging Group
(
http://www.kyb.mpg.de/noppeneygroup/index.html) at the Max Planck
Institute for Biological Cybernetics. Projects will combine fMRI and
computational modelling to investigate the neural basis of category
learning. The position is supervised by Dr Uta Noppeney, in collaboration
with Prof Peter Dayan (Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL) and
Prof Bernhard Schoelkopf (machine learning department, Empirical
Inference, MPI).
The Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics provides an excellent
multi-disciplinary and interactive research environment combining
expertise in neurophysiology, psychophysics, machine learning and
development of MRI methodology.
Applicants should combine interest in neuroscience with a strong
mathematical and analytical background and have a master/diploma or
equivalent degree in Neuroscience, Physics, Computer Science or related
areas. The Ph.D./PostDoc position is funded by a MPI stipend or
equivalent salary according to German Public service regulations.
Applications including a CV, a statement of research interests, and the
names and full contact details of two referees should be sent to:
[log in to unmask] The closing date for applications is 2
October 2008.
2. PhD/PostDoc - Cognitive Neuroimaging - Multisensory
Integration
Applications are invited for a PhD or PostDoc position in the ‘Cognitive
Neuroimaging Group’
(
http://www.kyb.mpg.de/noppeneygroup/index.html)headed by Dr Uta
Noppeney to characterize the neural mechanisms underlying multi-sensory
integration using fMRI and/or EEG/MEG. Effective connectivity analyses
will be used to investigate how information from the senses is integrated
through distinct interactions amongst brain regions.
The Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics provides an excellent
multi-disciplinary and interactive research environment combining
expertise in neurophysiology, psychophysics, machine learning and
