Job opportunity - Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychofysiology
K.U.Leuven, Belgium

The Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychofysiology at K.U.Leuven is one of the few laboratories in the world where functional imaging in humans and non-human primates and invasive single cell recordings are combined. It has expertise in all three techniques, addressing fundamental problems in systems neuroscience, in particular the neural mechanisms of visual cognition.
We have a vacancy for:
- a Ph.D position / post-doc position in the team of Prof. W. Vanduffel

Team of Prof. W. Vanduffel: Investigating causal functional interactions between cortical areas of non-human primates.
We will combine functional imaging (fMRI) in awake behaving monkeys with local micro stimulation, local reversible inactivation techniques and simultaneous electrophysiological recordings.
The student will have the opportunity to learn both fMRI and single cell recording in awake, behaving monkeys.

Qualifications
Candidates with a degree in neuroscience, (neuro) psychology, biomedical sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, physics etc. are considered.
A good command of English and knowledge of Matlab is required.

Application and further information
The position is available starting immediately (Ph.D for a period of 4 years, Post-doc for a period of 3 years) and applications are currently being accepted.

Please send a copy of your curriculum vitae to:
