[Serge Dumoulin]

Postdoc position in fMRI and visual neuroscience

Applications are invited for a postdoc position in the laboratory of 
Serge Dumoulin at the Experimental Psychology, Helmholtz Institute, 
Utrecht University, Utrecht, Netherlands.

The successful candidate will investigate cortical representations of 
visual perception using fMRI and novel model-based data-analysis 
techniques. This project will extend methods that reconstruct human 
population receptive field (pRF) properties and use them to investigate 
the functional properties of cortical representations. Facilities 
include 3T and 7T MRI scanners, equipment for fMRI data-analysis and 
visual psychophysics. Utrecht is a beautiful, vibrant and historic city 
close to Amsterdam.

Candidates should (nearly) have a PhD and extensive research experience 
in computational, visual or cognitive neuroscience. Good programming 
skills (e.g. Matlab), and a high affinity with quantitative analyses is 
highly preferred. Salary will be according to Utrecht University 
guidelines and experience of the candidate. Further details and informal 
enquiries may be directed to Serge Dumoulin (www.sergedumoulin.net, 
email: s.o.dumoulin at uu.nl). He will be at SfN in Washington to meet up 
with interested candidates.

Applicants should send a letter of application, clearly outlining the 
candidate's expertise and research interests, along with a CV, and names 
of 2-3 references to s.o.dumoulin at uu.nl. The position is open until a 
suitable candidate has been found.
