*2 PhD and 1 PostDoc positions in Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging;
University of Birmingham, UK*
In our natural dynamic environment the senses are constantly bombarded
with many different signals. How does the human brain integrate
information from multiple senses during perception? To study the neural
mechanisms of multisensory integration and learning, we combine
psychophysics, functional imaging (fMRI, EEG/MEG & interleaved TMS-fMRI)
and models of Bayesian Inference and learning.
The Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group (Prof Uta Noppeney) is
seeking 1 enthusiastic PostDoc and 2 PhD candidates. Applicants should
have astrong quantitative background and a degree in neuroscience,
psychology, computer science, physics, medicine or related areas. Prior
experience in functional imaging, MatLab, data analysis and/or machine
learning would be an advantage.
The lab is part of the Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics
Centre and the Department of Psychology of the University of Birmingham,
UK. The centre provides an excellent multidisciplinary and collaborative
research environment combining expertise in cognitive neuroimaging,
psychophysics and computational neuroscience. The psychology department
was rated 3rd in the UK research assessment exercise.
Applications will be considered until the positions are filled. Starting
dates are flexible. For further information, please contact
