PostDoc in Neuroimaging (scholarship)
 
Karolinska Institutet, Institutionen för neurovetenskap, Ehrsson
 
We are seeking a highly talented, innovative and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD in neuroimaging awarded within the past three years to work on projects in which advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis methods are applied to the problem of how we perceive our own body in space.
 
The research will be conducted at the Brain, Body and Self Laboratory at the Department of Neuroscience (www.ehrssonlab.se). This center has widespread expertise in fMRI, and the Karolinska Institutet has two MR-centers with state-of-the-art 3T MR scanners (GE and Siemens, respectively).
 
The ideal candidate will have expertise in the acquisition and analysis of fMRI data, as well as excellent programming skills. Expertise in multivariate pattern recognition, voxel-based receptive field mapping, would be an advantage, as would an undergraduate education in engineering (or a related area). The candidate is expected to work on projects in which advanced fMRI methods are applied to questions relating to how multisensory signals from the body are integrated at the levels of cortical and subcortical structures and/or the decoding of body illusions; however, purely technical projects involving method development are also possible. Good social skills are important as the candidate is expected to actively collaborate with other members of the laboratory, in addition to running his or her own project. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a consistently good academic record, including publications in international journals.
 
The position is limited to an initial 12-month period with the possibility of extension for an additional 12 months. For applicants with a foreign PhD, the positions are funded by a scholarship.
