[visionlist] Postdoc and PhD positions - Cognitive neuroscience

[Jeroen Goossens]

Postdoc and PhD positions – Executive Control Mechanisms for Action and 
Perception
Location: Biophysics department, Radboud UMC Nijmegen, The Netherlands

The visuomotor research group of Dr. J. Goossens in the Biophysics dept. 
of the Radboud UMC Nijmegen announces three exciting job openings. We 
invite applications from postdocs and PhD students interested in 
electrophysiological and neuroimaging studies of cereberal cortical 
mechanisms that guide eye movements, attention, and conscious visual 
perception in primates.

The successful applicant will participate in a multidisciplinary 
research project studying the neural decision-making processes for 
action and perception with a combination of behavioral, 
neurophysiological and neuroimaging approaches in macaque monkey. 
Facilities include a fully equipped electrophysiology lab, two state-of 
the-art MRI systems, whole-head MEG, and high-performance computing 
resources. The project is funded by a VIDI-award from the Dutch Science 
Foundation (NWO) and by an investment subsidy of the Radboud UMC.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in cognitive neuroscience, 
preferably with experience in neurophysiological techniques, good 
programming skills, and a high affinity with quantitative data analysis 
(e.g. modeling data with MatLab, Maple, etc.). The positions involve an 
appointment for 3 years (postdoc) or 4 years (PhD student). Salary will 
be commensurate with experience.

Nijmegen is the oldest city of the Netherlands, with an interesting 
history dating back to the Roman Empire, nice surrounding scenery 
(rivers, hills, woods) and a rich cultural life.

Applicants should e-mail a cover letter stating research interests, a 
curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of two 
references. Questions and applications should be addressed to Dr. J. 
Goossens (J.Goossens at science.ru.nl <mailto:J.Goossens at science.ru.nl>,
