years with a possible extension to 6 years. Candidates should have a  
PhD in psychology, computer science, electrical engineering, physics,  
mathematics or biology, a strong background in cognitive or  
computational neuroscience, and an interest in working on problems of  
visual perception, visual control of action, social interaction, or  
decision making. The successful candidate is expected to establish an

The lab of Prof. Markus Lappe pursues a theoretical and model-driven  
approach to experimental psychology/neuroscience in the field of  
visual perception and its cognitive control. We form an  
interdisciplinary research community with members coming from  
psychology, biology,  physics, computer science, mathematics, and  
electrical engineering. The lab is funded by the DFG, the German  
Ministry of Education and Research, and several European Projects. The  
Otto Creutzfeldt Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience  
provides an attractive multidisciplinary PhD program to train graduate  
students. The University of Münster is one of the largest universities  
in Germany and situated in   “the world’s most liveable city” (LivCom  
Award 2004). Information about current projects in the lab is
