I'd like to draw your attention to the following job offer.
International applications are very welcome.
Tamara Herz
____________
*PhD position in decision neuroscience / neuroeconomics*
*University of Zurich, Switzerland*
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position (3 years) at
the Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research at the University
of Zurich. The successful applicant will work with Christian Ruff and
other SNS Lab members (http://www.sns.uzh.ch/people.html) on the neural
processes underlying human decision making, employing combinations of
computational modeling, brain stimulation, and neuroimaging techniques.
The laboratory offers an exciting and friendly multidisciplinary
research environment with ample opportunities for training and
collaboration, and excellent technical facilities (including a
research-dedicated 3T MR scanner and access to a 7T high-field human
facility, as well as laboratories for TMS, tDCS, psychophysics,
behavioral group experiments, peripheral & autonomic neurophysiology,
and pharmacology).
Candidates should hold, or expect to soon obtain, a good master’s degree
in a relevant discipline (e.g., neuroscience, computer science, physics,
psychology, economics). Experience with computational
modeling/programming and the use of advanced software for behavioral and
brain imaging data analysis would be beneficial. Above all, candidates
should be enthusiastic about learning new techniques and contributing to
new experiments.
Applications are welcome from overseas students as well as Swiss and EU
nationals. Employment is expected to begin in October 2014.
Applications should be sent electronically and include a CV (incl. full
publication list), a cover letter explaining why you are suited for and
interested in this particular position, and the names and e-mail
addresses of at least two referees. Please send these materials to
applications(a)econ.uzh.ch, with “PhD Ruff group” in the e-mail header.
Applications will be considered on an ongoing basis until a suitable
candidate is found.
