FYI
We invite applications for a Doctoral (PhD) and a Postdoctoral position
at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences (University of Geneva,
Switzerland;
www.affective-sciences.org/
<http://www.affective-sciences.org/> ) and the Neuroscience of Emotions
and Affective Dynamics Lab (Head: Prof. Didier Grandjean). We are
seeking for highly motivated and talented research candidates to work on
a project on the neural basis of processing human affective
vocalizations. The positions are funded by the Swiss National Science
Foundation (SNFS).
For the Doctoral (PhD) position candidates should have a relevant degree
in psychology, neuroscience or a related field. Furthermore, they should
be familiar with fMRI and/or EEG and have a strong background in
affective or auditory neuroscience. Programming skills (i.e. Matlab) are
advantageous. The position is available for 3 years.
For the Postdoctoral position candidates should have a Ph.D. (or
equivalent) in psychology, biology, neuroscience or a related field.
Furthermore, they should be familiar with fMRI (on 3T and/or 7T
scanners) and have a strong background in auditory neuroscience.
Candidates should have experience in brain image analysis (SPM, FSL
and/or FreeSurfer), pattern recognition, and statistics. Excellent
programming skills (Matlab, UNIX, etc.) are highly desirable. The
position is initially available for 2 years with a possible extension
for one year.
The University of Geneva provides an excellent multidisciplinary and
interactive neuroimaging environment with research dedicated brain
imaging facilities (
http://bbl.unige.ch/index.html) within the framework
of the Geneva Neuroscience Center (
http://neurocenter.unige.ch/).
The positions are available immediately and applications will be
considered until the positions are filled. Candidates should submit a
CV, names and full contact details of two referees and a statement of
research interests by e-mail to Dr. Sascha Frühholz
(sascha.fruehholz(a)unige.ch <mailto:sascha.fruehholz@unige.ch>).
Informal inquiries and questions should be addressed to
