Projects combine methods of experimental psychology, functional neuroimaging (fMRI, MRS), psychopharmacology, computational modelling and patient research to investigate the role of dopamine and serotonin in cognition, emotion and behaviour, with the ultimate aim to understand the neurobiological basis of a wide range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. * * *Work environment* The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour consists of the Centre for Cognition, the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging and the Centre for Neuroscience. This project is based at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, and is a collaboration with New York University. Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging The mission of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging is to conduct cutting-edge fundamental research in cognitive neuroscience. Much of the rapid progress in this field is being driven by the development of complex neuroimaging techniques for measuring activity in the human working brain - an area in which the Centre plays a leading role. The research themes cover central cognitive functions such as perception, action, control, decision making, attention, memory, language, learning and plasticity. The internationally renowned centre currently hosts more than 100 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from more than 20 different countries, offering a stimulating and multidisciplinary research environment. The centre is equipped with three MRI scanners (7T, 3T, 1.5T), a 275-channel MEG system, an EEG-TMS laboratory, several (MR-compatible) EEG systems, and high-performance computational facilities. English is the lingua franca at the centre. You will work within the Cognitive Control group. * * *What we expect from you* You should have a background in cognitive neuroscience, computer science, engineering or mathematics, and preferably some experience with computer programming (e.g. C++ and/or Matlab). You should also have a strong interest in the neurobiology of decision-making. Prior experience in this area is desirable but not essential. You should have strong communication skills and be able and willing to work in a multidisciplinary environment. * * *What we have to offer* We offer you: - employment: 1,0 fte; - a maximum gross monthly salary of € 3.028 based on a 38-hour working week (salary scale 8); - in addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus; - duration of the contract: one year, but will preferably be extended to 2 years or more; - you will be classified as a Education/Research officer Level 3 in the Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO).

Fwd: Open PhD Position: Decoding of complex movements from the human brain

by Gary Green

Open PhD Position: Decoding of complex movements from the human brain. University of Oldenburg, Germany. Fellowship: 1500 €/mo. Initially 2yrs. Start date: 04/01/2013. Current brain decoding approaches for motor brain machine interfaces often rely on decoding of simple movement kinematics. One reason for this is that the coding of complex movements in the human cortex is currently poorly understood. The project aims to combine non-invasive and invasive recordings of human brain activity with movement tracking to decode complex movements (e.g. grasping of objects) from brain activity. The position offers an excellent interdisciplinary working environment with opportunities for international research stays. More information on the research in the lab can be found at: http://www.psychology.uni-oldenburg.de/57908.html. Duties on the candidate: * To design, carry out and analyse experiments comprising combined movement tracking and physiological recordings. * To prepare scientific manuscripts on his/her research. Desired experience of the candidate: * Academic Master's or comparable degree and strong experimental and quantitative skills. * Prior experience in one or more of the fields of non-invasive human neurophysiology of the motor system, statistical learning or brain-machine-interfacing would be helpful. Application Applications should include your CV, certificates, and a list of most recent publications. Applications for this position should be sent under identification 'SigCog11'. The University of Oldenburg aims to employ more women in this area and therefore particularly welcomes applications from women. We also welcome applications from disabled persons.
