    PHD / POSTDOC IN COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE

    The Laboratory for Action Representation and Learning
    at the Department of Cognitive Neurology and the
    Max-Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in
    Tuebingen (Germany) offers a Postdoc or PhD position
    for a theoretically oriented neuroscientist.

    Aim of the project is the development and evaluation of
    models for the neural mechanisms of the recognition and
    planning of complex movements.
    Dependent on her/his interest, the successful candidate
    will also have the opportunity to take part in
    psychophysical, electrophysiological and FMRI
    experiments for testing neural theories
    of motion recognition and learning of movements by
    imitation.

    Tuebingen offers an excellent environment for experimental
    and theoretical neuroscience. In addition, PhD students can
    acquire a PhD degree in "Neuroscience" in an
    interdiciplinary graduate program. The experimental
    side of the project will be realized in close
    collaboration with several groups working on
    experimental and theoretical neuroscience
    at Tuebingen, M.I.T., and Harvard Medical School (USA).

    The ideal candidate should have a reasonable
    computational background, and at laest some basic
    training in neuroscience.

    Payment is, dependent on prior experience, is BAT IIa / 2
    or BAT IIa for 3 years (extendable). Starting date should
    be as soon as possible.

    The Position is funded by the German Volkswagen Foundation.
