PhD Student and Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in Neuroimaging
Organization: Radboud University Nijmegen
Location: Nijmegen, Netherlands
Field: Medical sciences
Requirements:
As a candidate you should have a Master’s degree or equivalent (for the PhD student positions) or a PhD degree (for the postdoctoral positions) in a field related to cognitive neuroscience, e.g. experimental psychology, cognitive science, biology, neuroscience or related disciplines. Excellent candidates with a background in quantitative disciplines such as mathematics, physics or engineering who are interested in neuroscience are also encouraged to apply. Selection criteria for the postdoctoral positions will consider the record of published research, familiarity with neuroimaging techniques and programming skills (Matlab). For the PhD student positions, familiarity with neuroimaging techniques and good programming skills (Matlab) are desirable. Proficiency in oral and written English is required. You are expected to work in an interdisciplinary environment, sharing technical know-how and ideas
Abstract:
The newly established PI group of Dr Christian Doeller at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour seeks highly talented and dedicated postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to work on an exciting project funded by a recently awarded ERC Starting Grant.
Description:
The newly established PI group of Dr Christian Doeller at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour seeks highly talented and dedicated postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to work on an exciting project funded by a recently awarded ERC Starting Grant. The goal of this project is to gain understanding of how the human brain maps space and forms episodic memories. Our specific aim is to infer the fine-scale properties of neural systems in humans by building on models from single-cell electrophysiology (see Doeller et al., Evidence for Grid Cells in a Human Memory Network, Nature 2010, 463, 657-661). The techniques involve combinations of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI, including 7T high-field scanning), virtual reality technologies, psychophysics and advanced tools for neuroimaging data analysis.
