Fwd: 2 PhD positions in motivation and decision making
by Gary Green 09 May '14

09 May '14

Applications are invited for two PhD positions in the Psychology department at the University of Giessen, Germany. The fist position is available immediately with a flexible starting date. This position is funded by the project grant “Modulation of value-based decision making by novelty”. The project will investigate the influence of contextual novelty on learning and decision-making using fMRI. The second position will be available starting September. This position is not associated with a specific project, giving room to the candidate's ideas in designing experiments on motivation and decision making. The department offers an on-site research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner. The successful candidate(s) will collect and analyze fMRI data using computational models of decision-making, present the results at scientific conferences and write scientific papers. We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in neuroscience, psychology, biology or a related field and with a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience and the ability to work independently. We expect programming skills and proficiency in English; prior experience in computational neuroscience and experience with fMRI are of advantage. Please send your CV, transcripts or degree certificates, a brief statement of research interests and contact details of two referees by e-mail to bianca.wittmann(a)psychol.uni-giessen.de.
