    ============================

     <bold>3 Ph.D students, 2 Postdocs and 1 Technical Specialist</bold> are
    sought to work within the NWO (Dutch Science Foundation) Pioneer Research
    Program: <bold><italic>"Spatial Cognition: Development, Underlying
    Representations, and Neural Basis" </italic></bold>at the Psychonomic
    Laboratory, Helmholtz Research Institute, Utrecht University, The
    Netherlands.

    <underline>The Pioneer program:</underline> It is vitally important that
    we can perceive and remember where things in our envirionment are. It
    enables us to perform goal direction actions (e.g. grasping an object) or
    to learn the route between two locations (e.g. route learning). This
    innovative, ambitious research program focuses on mental spatial
    representations in humans, their development with age, and the role of
    the various sensory input channels. A particular goal is the mapping of
    the underlying neurocognitive basis. Ultimately, a more conclusive
    overview of human spatial cognition should be reached.

            The sub-projects will be conducted in close cooperation in order to
    examine several critical aspects of spatial functioning using multiple
    experimental and neurocognitve tools. Our aim is to build a research team
    whose strong collaboration will benefit both the individual researchers
    and the research in general. The program involves the active
    participation of many international experts. Although the research is
    mainly fundamental, clinical value of the results for special subject
    populations (the blind, neurological patients) can be expected as well.
    Good salaries, excellent research environment and facilties in centre of
    the Netherlands.

    in case the advertisement shoudl be shorter:

    ==================================

    3 Ph.D. students, 2 PostDocs, and 1 technician

    Innovative research on the neurocognitive basis of space. Excellent
    facilities and strong research group, examining multiple spatial
    functions in the human brain in different subject groups ( neurological
    patients, blind, children). Modern experimental and neurocognitive tools
    are used (fMRI, ERP, TMS). Technician creates soft- and hardware for
    experimental psychological tasks (visual, auditory or tactile stimuli)
    and supports analysis of behavioral and physiological data (eyemovements,
    ERPs). Good salary.
