Applications are invited for doctoral and/or postdoctoral fellowships with Jochen Braun in Magdeburg, Germany. The research will examine the neural basis of decision making and of multi-stable perception, by comparing computational models of hierarchical neural dynamics with functional imaging activity in humans. Additionally, there will be the possibility of comparing single- and multi-unit recordings from non-human primates, in collaboration with Prof. Kristine Krug, Magdeburg, Germany.

 

 

Candidates must have a degree in physics (or similar), and strong quantitative and writing skills. Postdoctoral applicants should have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g.neuroscience, physiology, physics). Prior experience with high-dimensional data analysis and/or with single- or multi-unit recordings from behaving vertebrates is desirable.

 

 

The initial appointments of both doctoral and postdoctoral positions will be for two years with the possibility of renewal. Both positions are staff positions and require some teaching. Cognitive Biology is part of a large and vibrant neuroscience community (https://www.neuroscience-magdeburg.de/research/professor-jazz/). Magdeburg is a lively university town with a beautiful historical centre around the river Elbe and with convenient transport links to Leipzig and Berlin.

 

 

To apply, please send a PDF file with a CV, a statement of research interests, and names of two references to jochen.braun@ovgu.de.
