The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour has a vacancy

*Characterizing phase-coupled oscillatory networks in the alpha and the
theta band: their relation to perception and attention, and to
individual differences in cognitive performance*
_Research Group Neurophysiology of Active Perception_
The objective of our research group is to formulate and validate
mechanistic explanations of cognitive phenomena, that is explanations in
terms of …
[View More]their underlying neurophysiological mechanisms. As an integral
part of this objective, our group has an important methodological
component, the characterization of interactions in spatially distributed
neural activity, which is the central topic of this PhD project.
_Project Description_
Phase-consistent rhythmic activity is ubiquitous in electrophysiological
recordings, and it may reflect networks of phase-coupled neuronal
populations oscillating at different frequencies. Because neuronal
oscillations may reflect rhythmic modulations of neuronal excitability,
phase-coupled oscillatory networks (PCONs) could be functional building
blocks for routing information through the brain. This project focuses
on PCONs involving brain rhythms that (1) are modulated by selective
attention and working memory, and (2) are correlated with individual
differences in cognitive performance. Using newly developed methods, we
extract PCONs from magneto-encephalography (MEG) data on the basis of
the patterns of phase-consistency induced by these PCONs. These methods
succeed because PCONs can be separated on the basis their frequency
content, the brain areas over which they can be observed, and their
pattern of between-site phase relations. We will test three hypotheses
with respect to the functional role of alpha and theta band PCONs, one
pertaining to their behavioral relevance, one to the mechanism
underlying sustained attention, and one to their relation with
individual differences in cognitive performance. All hypotheses can be
tested using existing data.
_Job Requirements_
This project calls for either a cognitive neuroscientist with a strong
interest and skills in data analysis or a person with a computational
background (machine learning, applied statistics, signal processing)
with a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience. We are looking for
candidates with a MSc degree who are highly motivated to conduct
research. It is highly desirable to have extensive experience with a
high-level programming language such as Matlab or Python. The candidate
must be available at 1-10-2014.
_Application deadline_: 14-7-2014
_The Institute_
The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour consists of
three research centres, the Centre for Cognition, the Centre for
Cognitive Neuroimaging and the Centre for Neuroscience. The Donders
Institute focuses on state of the art cognitive neuroscience, in a
multidisciplinary approach, and offers excellent lab and neuroimaging
facilities. The project is embedded within the Donders research theme
/Brain Networks and Neuronal Communication/
(http://www.ru.nl/donders/research/theme-4-brain/) and will be
supervised by dr. Eric Maris at the Donders Centre for Cognition (DCC).
The DCC is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences, one of the largest
faculties at Radboud University Nijmegen. The faculty hosts high-quality
research and study programs that rank among the best in the Netherlands.

aspects of research (designing/programming experiments,
recruiting/running participants, analyzing behavioral and neuroimaging
data), grant and IRB administration and overseeing day-to-day lab
operations. This is an excellent position for anyone seeking research
experience and training in clinical and cognitive neuroscience before
applying to graduate programs.
/_Necessary skills/qualifications_/: A bachelor's degree or higher in
cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, psychology, math,
biology, or other related field. Strong computer programming skills
(especially MATLAB and/or Python) are required. Should be
self-motivated, independent, and reliable. Strong organizational and
communication skills are also essential. Research experience in
affective, clinical or cognitive neuroscience (e.g., conducting and
analyzing fMRI or MRI studies), behavioral experiment administration,
IRB management, or clinical interviewing experience will all be viewed
positively, but are not required. The position is for a two-year
commitment.
Interested parties should email a CV, names of relevant professional
references, and a brief statement of interest to Michael Treadway:
