Dear colleagues,
I would like to bring your attention to the position below.
Alt the best,
Ole Jensen

------------------------
Responsibilities
The Neuronal Oscillation group at the Donders Institute for
Brain, Cognition and Behaviour has funding available for a
senior researcher position. The position has a strong research
component, but also includes additional management and teaching
responsibilities. The management tasks involve active
participation in structuring the research group, including
supervision of MSc and PhD students (who will receive senior
authorship where applicable). Further, you will contribute to
grant writing. The research responsibilities focus on
investigating the role of oscillatory neuronal activity involved
in shaping the functional architecture of the working brain.
This will be done in the context of advanced cognitive paradigms
on attention, perception and memory. There will be a strong
focus on the role of phase, network interactions and subcortical
structures. You will have the following state-of-the-art
equipment to your disposal: MEG, (f)MRI, EEG combined with TMS,
and EEG combined with fMRI. A further aim is to link structural
(e.g. DTI) and functional measurements. You will also
participate in conceptually developing the framework for
understanding the functional role of brain oscillations.
Work environment
The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour
consists of the Centre for Cognition, the Centre for Cognitive
Neuroimaging and the Centre for Neuroscience.
The mission of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging is to
conduct cutting-edge fundamental research in cognitive
neuroscience. Much of the rapid progress in this field is being
driven by the development of complex neuro-imaging techniques
for measuring activity in the human working brain - an area in
which the Centre plays a leading role. The research themes cover
central cognitive functions such as perception, action, control,
decision making, attention, memory, language, learning and
plasticity. The internationally renowned centre currently hosts
more than 100 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from
more than 20 countries, offering a stimulating and
multidisciplinary research environment. The centre is equipped
with three MRI scanners (7T, 3T, 1.5T), a 275-channel MEG
system, an EEG-TMS laboratory, several (MR-compatible) EEG
systems, and high-performance computational facilities. English
is the lingua franca at the centre. You will work within the
Neuronal Oscillations group.
What we expect from
you
As a candidate for the position, you should have a PhD degree
and several years of experience as postdoctoral researcher in a
field related to cognitive neuroscience. Selection criteria will
consider the record of published research, familiarity with
neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, EEG, MEG, and/or TMS) and
supervision experience.
Proficiency in oral and written English is a prerequisite. You
are expected to work in a team, sharing technical know-how and
ideas.
What we have to
offer
We offer you:
- employment: 1,0 fte;
- in addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3%
end-of-year bonus;
- the gross salary will be between €3,195 and €4,970 (scale 12),
depending on experience;
- salary scale 11 will apply during the first year;
- duration of the contract: 6 years maximum.
