Fwd:] Postdoc in "Perceptual Awareness in the reorganizing Brain" in Verona, Italy

Post-Doctoral Position in Verona, Italy Job Description A Postdoctoral position is available in the project "Perceptual Awareness in the reorganizing Brain" (headed by Prof. Carlo Alberto Marzi). The project is part of a recently funded project by ERC AdG Grant program at the Department of Neurological and Movement Sciences, Physiology and Psychology Section, University of Verona, Italy, whose scientific aim is to investigate the neural mechanisms of the shift from unconscious (blindsight) to conscious vision in patients with hemianopia as well as in healthy participants. This ambitious aim will be pursued by means of behavioural paradigms associated to fMRI scanning and ERP and possibly MEG recording. The preferred starting date is May 1, 2014 or soon thereafter. We seek a highly motivated candidate with a strong background in neuroimaging techniques (fMRI and/or EEG) as documented by relevant publications. He/she should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline (neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology). Additional experience in programming (Matlab, C/C++ , e-prime, or other programming languages) and data analysis skills is preferable. The successful applicant will join a stimulating, enthusiastic team providing an excellent environment for cutting edge research on the neural mechanisms of perceptual awareness and their implications for recovery of conscious vision following brain damage. Besides state-of-the-art neuroimaging equipment (ERP, 3T fMRI, compatible eye tracker), our team offers expertise in a vast range of experimental psychology and neuropsychology paradigms. Job Information Closing date: 2014-04-03 Employment start date: 2014-05-01 Contract length: Temporary position lasting one year, potentially renewable for three more years.
