[visionlist] PhD/PostDoc, Multisensory integration, MPI Biological Cybernetics

[Uta Noppeney]

The ‘Cognitive Neuroimaging Lab’ (Dr Uta Noppeney) at the Max Planck 
Institute for Biological Cybernetics is seeking excellent PhD and 
Postdoctoral research associates in the field of multisensory 
integration. We combine psychophysics, functional imaging (fMRI, EEG/MEG 
& TMS) and computational modelling to study the neural mechanisms 
underlying multisensory integration in humans. Effective connectivity 
analyses are used to investigate how information from the senses is 
integrated through distinct interactions amongst brain regions.

The Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics provides an 
excellent multi-disciplinary, interactive and collaborative research 
environment combining expertise in neurophysiology (Prof. Nikos 
Logothetis), psychophysics (Prof. Heinrich Bülthoff), machine learning 
(Prof. Bernhard Schölkopf) and development of MRI methodology. PhD 
students will have the opportunity to participate in the International 
Max Planck Research School for Neural and Behavioural Sciences.

Applicants should have a master/diploma or equivalent degree in 
neuroscience, psychology, computer science, physics or related areas. 
Prior experience in functional imaging, MatLab, data analysis and/or 
machine learning would be an advantage. The PhD/PostDoc position is 
funded by a MPI stipend or equivalent salary according to German Public 
service regulations.
