*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
<http://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.
