The posts are related to a research project studying the effects of physical activity and fitness on brain and the prerequisites of learning. The project is part of a larger consortium, funded by Academy of Finland, with main sites of research in University of Jyvaskyla (Centre for Interdisciplinary Brain Research, Department of Biology of Physical Activity) and LIKES (Research Centre for Sport and Health Sciences), Jyvaskyla, Finland. The research team consists of about 20 researchers studying the link between physical activity and learning at different levels. University of Jyvaskyla is internationally well known for its research in the field of sport biology, and the newly established Centre for Interdisciplinary Brain Research will combine advanced neuroimaging methods to this domain. We offer a highly interdisciplinary research environment, utilizing existing large cohort studies in Finland. Our national and international collaborative network combines expertise from neuroimaging, psychology, cell-biology, animal neurophysiology and epidemiology. The neuroimaging (MRI and MEG measurements) will be done in collaboration with MEG Core/AMI Centre, Aalto NeuroImaging, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland. The postdoctoral scientist will be responsible for the MRI data, and is expected to have a strong background in MRI data analysis and a Doctoral degree in a related field. Familiarity with cognitive neuroscience questions, especially attention and executive functions, is appreciated. The PhD student will focus on MEG data, and should have a master’s degree in a relevant field (i.e. related e.g. to neuroscience, psychology, sport biology, signal processing, engineering). Experience in MEG and/or EEG is an asset, but not necessary. Familiarity with signal processing environments (e.g. matlab, python) is appreciated for both posts. Applications are accepted until 1st April or until the position is filled. The starting date is negotiable.
