PhD Position at the Dept. of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology, Hamburg
The Dept. of Neurophysiology and
Pathophysiology (Head: Prof. Dr. Andreas K. Engel) at the University Medical
Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (Germany) invites applications for a PhD student
position. The position is available with immediate start. The appointment will be
for 3 years.
Areas
of interest comprise the investigation of
dynamic, large-scale neural interactions and the characterization of functional
networks during perceptual and attentional processes in autism spectrum
disorders, using techniques such as eye tracking and EEG/ MEG (possibly also
fMRI). Recruitment of individuals with autism will be performed in
collaboration with the Department of Psychiatrie in Cologne
(http://www.medizin.uni-koeln.de/kliniken/psychiatrie/Autismus-Sprechstunde/).
Main
research interests in the Department are dynamics of distributed sensory
processing, intermodal and sensorimotor integration, as well as theories of
perception, action and consciousness. Current projects involve EEG/MEG studies
in humans or physiological studies in animals. Further information on research
at the Department of Neurophysiology can be obtained at
http://www.uke.uni-hamburg.de or http://www.40hz.net.
Applicants should have a background in
psychology, medicine, biology or neuro-/ cognitive sciences, and ideally show
experience in human EEG/ MEG studies, neuroimaging or biosignal analysis. Programming experience (Matlab,
Presentation) is considered mandatory. You will be responsible for the management and implementation of research
paradigms, recruitment
and neuropsychological testing of volunteers, data acquisition and analysis. Interest in
clinical neuroscience and neuropsychology is desirable.
