Applications are invited for a Ph.D. student position at the Center for Behavioral Brain Sciences (CBBS) and Otto-von-Guericke-University of Magdeburg, Germany. Research in the lab is centred on the neural mechanisms of adaptive, goal-directed behaviour with a particular focus on reward-guided learning and decision making. We will use various neuroimaging methods (fMRI, MEG, EEG, TMS) in combination with pharmacological challenges and computational modelling approaches. A candidate is sought that is highly motivated, reliable and able to work independently. The successful applicant will have an MSc or equivalent degree (or be currently working towards one) in neuroscience or a related field (biology, psychology, physics, computer science, engineering). Experience in acquisition and analysis of MEG or EEG data (in particular time frequency analyses) and good knowledge of MATLAB, as well as good communication skills (written and orally) are essential. Additional skills in fMRI would be desirable. Applicants should have an interest in formal models of neural activity and behaviour. Application deadline is 10th May 2013, but applications will be considered until the position is filled.
