Dear all,
the Department of Biological Psychology (Institute of Psychology) at the
University of Muenster (WWU), Germany
(https://secure-web.cisco.com/1RZ-xwuqqr0H1V5QPM6K90JjpfVOkoZ1LEvfjmBpM3Zdv69Ld8Mww0BGv73r8Xp4dx1WkLCVNzT3JGF2GohKLZBafMo-DkEvfJnIqaiabgvglc1r3C9UmKNNTuWvn7JbocU8fvQAhLzkOZZ5hlQ7F2blAZG7peSItTxsnIIBsDxFBIGgfi9se2dxmeiXSrLOFy8wl_A4wNWTEAYM71KHb5d6sK5miMZWtlLwssfBlaeYva2awI3nRCeccMxzV-0v6LvxwiLntihUEEd-t7wXnZ5L6wGtXsXv6chWIo0oVAcNuloSqqru8-YE-dFoXz9xuq4Hp-j50PcOPRYf-VXKNUw/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uni-muenster.de%2FPsyIFP%2FAESchubotz%2Fen%2Findex.html), is
looking for a
*Postdoctoral Research Associate*
(/Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in/)
*(salary level TV-L E13, 100%)*
in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience.
The duration of this full-time position is three years, with the
possibility of an extension. You are invited to join a collaborative
research team working on predictive mechanisms in the human brain and
behaviour. We are interested in the classification of different types of
surprise, predictions, the statistical and declarative knowledge that
supports predictions, and the adaptation and learning processes
triggered by prediction errors. We use neuroimaging (fMRI) and
electrophysiological (EEG, SCR) techniques on healthy subjects and
impaired populations (e.g. Parkinson’s disease, stroke, schizophrenia,
Asperger autism). The research group has an EEG laboratory with a
shielded booth and systems for acquisition of heartbeat and skin
conductance data, behavioural laboratories, a laboratory with
neuro-navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and controlled
access to a 3T research MRI scanner (Magnetom Prisma, Siemens). A 3D
video data acquisition system for analysing body and eye movements of
group of individuals is currently under construction. We maintain
several active collaborations with neurological and psychiatric departments.
*Your tasks:*
You will develop and conduct your own research project in line with the
methodology and research focus of the group. At the moment, we want to
advance two topics in particular: the prediction horizon and the
cost-benefit functions of prediction. We value your active involvement
in the research projects of our doctoral students, supporting and
advancing them through scientific exchange and sharing of methodological
expertise. As a full-time employee, you will be required to teach four
hours per week during the semester.
*Our expectations:*
Applicants should hold a graduate degree and a completed PhD in
neuroscience/psychology/biology or related fields, have already
demonstrated a strong motivation for cognitive neuroscience and/or
computational neuroscience, and a promising publication list. We are
particularly looking for candidates who have advanced skill using fMRI
or EEG and a profound knowledge of statistics and programming.
Experience with eye tracking and/or SCR would also be a plus. The
University of Muenster is an equal opportunity employer and is committed
to increasing the proportion of women academics. Consequently, we
actively encourage applications by women. Female candidates with
equivalent qualifications and academic achievements will be
preferentially considered within the framework of the legal
possibilities. The University of Muenster is committed to employing more
staff with disabilities. Candidates with recognized severe disabilities
who have equivalent qualifications are given preference in hiring
decisions. Positions can generally be filled as part-time positions if
there are no compelling work-related reasons against doing so.
To apply, send your CV, a brief description of research interests, list
of publications, and the names of two potential references to Prof. Dr.
Ricarda Schubotz, rschub...@uni-muenster.de.
*Applications will be considered until 1 June 2022.*
