Dear colleagues, I am forwarding the following information about open job opportunities in Giessen and Marburg on behalf of Karl Gegenfurtner. The P.I.s on projects that involve fMRI are marked by an X in the list. Best wishes, Bianca -- The German Research Council (DFG) has established a Collaborative Research Center (SFB/TRR 135) at the universities of Giessen and Marburg. The scientific goal is to investigate the cardinal mechanisms that underlie perception: prediction, valuation and categorization. Scientists within the research center come from different disciplines ranging from experimental psychology and human movement science to neurophysics and psycholinguistics. We use a vast range of methods including psychophysics, neuroimaging and single unit electrophysiology. The positions are available starting on April 1, 2014 or soon thereafter, and can potentially be held until the end of 2017. If you are interested in a PhD studentship or a PostDoc position, you should contact one of the principal investigators of the grant directly: Jutta Billino (Giessen, Experimental Psychology, Aging) X Ina Bornkessel-Schlesewsky (Marburg, Experimental Linguistics, Embodiment) Doris Braun (Giessen, Experimental Psychology, Eye movements) X Frank Bremmer (Marburg, Neurophysics, Oculomotor Physiology, Self Motion) Knut Drewing (Giessen, Experimental Psychology, Active Touch) X Wolfgang Einhäuser-Treyer (Marburg, Neurophysics, Ocuolomotor salience) X Katja Fiehler (Giessen, Experimental Psychology, Hand and Eye Movements) X Karl Gegenfurtner (Giessen, Experimental Psychology, Color Vision, Eye Movements) X Mathias Hegele (Giessen, Human Movement Science, Animacy) Bianca Jovanovic (Giessen, Developmental Psychology, Infant Motor Experience) Christina Kauschke (Marburg, Clinical and Developmental Linguistics, Emotion Words) X Tilo Kircher (Marburg, Psychiatry, Inter-modal Perception) Harald Lachnit (Marburg, Experimental Psychology, Associative Learning) Anna Schubö (Marburg, Cognitive Psychophysiology, Attention, Visual Selection) Alexander Schütz (Giessen, Experimental Psychology, Eye Movements and Value) Gudrun Schwarzer (Giessen, Developmental Psychology, Child Face Perception) X Benjamin Straube (Marburg, Psychiatry, Perception of One's Own Actions) X Bianca Wittmann (Giessen, Biological Psychology, Motivational salience) A list of all projects, including links to the P.I.'s web pages can be found at http://www.allpsych.uni-giessen.de/sfb Applicants should have a strong academic training, including a Master's degree in a relevant discipline.
