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.
