Fwd:Postdoc position: fMRI of number processing at NeuroSpin, France
by Gary Green 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Postdoc position: fMRI of number processing at NeuroSpin We are looking for a bright and motivated postdoc to join a research project related to the representation of number in the human brain which will use high-field / high-resolution functional imaging (at 7 Tesla). This position will be available within the INSERM Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit (www.unicog.org <http://www.unicog.org/>, directed by Stanislas Dehaene), situated at the NeuroSpin Center in the greater Paris area. The position is funded for 2 years within a 4-year project financed by the French National Research Agency (PI Evelyn Eger). The ideal candidate will come from a background of visual neuroscience, potentially including the processing of number. Previous experience in functional imaging is required (and would ideally include multivariate decoding and/or surface-based analysis), and good programming skills in either matlab or python will be a strong plus. Good communication skills in English (oral and written) are necessary. The intended starting date for the position is around July or September 2015. Formal applications should include a Curriculum Vitae, application letter with statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of two researchers who would be willing to provide a reference. Please send your application by email before 15^th December or address further questions to evelyn.eger(a)cea.fr <mailto:evelyn.eger@cea.fr>. Full contact information: Dr Evelyn Eger, INSERM U.992 Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit, CEA/Neurospin, Batiment 145, Point Courier 156, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, evelyn.eger(a)cea.fr <mailto:evelyn.eger@cea.fr>

Fwd: Post Doc Position in Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition
by Gary Green 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab Department of Psychology Wright State University A post-doc position is now available at the newly established Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab at the Department of Psychology, Wright State University. The lab is headed by Dr. Assaf Harel and investigates high-level vision and its neural substrates. We are particularly interested in how visual recognition occurs in real-world settings and adopt a neuroergonomic approach to study the applied aspects of high-level vision. For this purpose, we employ a diversity of cognitive neuroscience methods, including fMRI, EEG, psychophysics, and eye tracking. Research topics include, but are not limited to the following areas: visual expertise, object and scene recognition, categorization and perceptual learning. The position is fully funded for two years. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Neurobiology, Computer Science, or any other related discipline by the start date of the position. Strong background and familiarity with fMRI or EEG research is required. Experience in computer programming, especially with Matlab is highly encouraged and will be considered a strong advantage. Applicants should send their CV, a short statement of their research interests and contact information for two references to Dr. Assaf Harel at: assaf.harel(a)wright.edu <mailto:assaf.harel@wright.edu>. The Department of Psychology is housed in the College of Science and Mathematics, offers a Ph.D. in Human Factors and Industrial/ Organizational Psychology, and has 3 undergraduate concentration areas: (1) Cognition and Perception, (2) Industrial/ Organizational, and (3) Behavioral Neuroscience. Wright State University was recently ranked among the Best in the Midwest universities by The Princeton Review, listed among 260 Best National Universities in the annual Americas Best Colleges rankings by U.S. News and World Report, and ranked fourth nationally among universities with limited numbers of doctoral programs in the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index.
