terests lie at the
intersection of decision-making, behavioral economics, and neuroscience and
who are interested in studying the brain mechanisms that underlie
decision-making. Particular interests of our group are the neural mechanisms
that underlie social influences on decisions, emotion regulation and
self-control involved in decision-making, and the role of risk and reward in
such decisions. We are especially interested in applicants whose research
can build bridges between existing strengths in consumer-behavior research
at the marketing department of the Rotterdam School of Management and
decision neuroscience at the Donders Institute.
The Erasmus Center for Neuroeconomics is dedicated to conducting
cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in decision neuroscience, and hosts
the Erasmus Behavioral Lab which provides an excellent infrastructure for
conducting behavioral and EEG/ERP experiments. The Donders Institute is a
leading research institute in cognitive neuroscience and provides excellent
resources for functional neuroimaging by means of two research-dedicated
fMRI scanners, an MEG scanner, and EEG and TMS facilities. Additional
facilities are available for the collection and analysis of genetic samples.
The collaboration between Erasmus University and the Donders Institute
provides an outstanding environment for studying the neural underpinnings of
decision-making behavior, and the successful applicant will have full access
to the facilities in both institutions.
*Requirements for the PhD position *
Successful candidates must have a relevant Masters degree, preferably with a
background in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, or biological
psychology. Candidates with a background in consumer behavior or economics,
with proven evidence or a strong interest in developing cognitive
neuroscience and imaging skills, are also invited to apply. A tailored PhD
course program will be developed. The PhD position is for four years. PhDs
receive a regular employment contract for a doctoral student. See the ERIM
Doctoral Program for further information on the facilities of PhD students
at Erasmus.
Preferred starting date: September 2011.
Applications, including CV, a brief summary of current and proposed
research, and at least two letters of recommendation, should be submitted
through the ERIM application website (http://www.erim.eur.nl). submit your
application preferably before April 1, 2011. PhD applicants may be requested
to provide GRE/ GMAT scores and TOEFLl /IELTS language scores. For further
information on the position, visit our website erim.nl/neuroconomics or
