[visionlist] Postdoc position (visual masking; re-entrant processing; visual awareness), Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Germany

[Niko Busch]

A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the Berlin School of 
Mind and Brain/Charité University Medicine Berlin, Germany.

Our group combines psychophysical techniques with state-of-the-art EEG 
analyses (time-frequency analysis, independent component analysis, 
general linear modelling) to investigate the neural and cognitive 
mechanisms of visual cognition and its temporal dynamics. Information 
about the general research program can be found on the lab website: 
http://www.oszillab.net/


The position is part of a project aimed at understanding how visual 
awareness and re-entrant processing is compromised by masking. This 
project will involve both psychophysical and EEG studies with human 
subjects. The postdoc will design and conduct experiments, analyze, and 
publish data related to the project aims. The postdoc is also invited to 
collaborate with other members of the group, to participate in the 
supervision of grad students, and to contribute to the group’s 
activities at large. The initial appointment will be for one year with 
opportunity for extension to up to two years. The successful candidate 
will have the opportunity to initiate new projects.

Our group is affiliated with the Institute of Medical Psychology at the 
Charité University Clinic and with the Berlin School of Mind and Brain 
(Humboldt University). Research and training at the Berlin School of 
Mind and Brain focuses on the interface between the humanities and the 
neurosciences. Of particular interest are research areas that fall on 
the borders between the "mind sciences" (e.g., philosophy, linguistics, 
cognitive science, economics), and the "brain sciences" (e.g., 
neurophysiology, computational neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry). Our 
institute is situated in a lively part of central Berlin. More 
information about the School and its research environment can be found 
at the institute's website: http://www.mind-and-brain.de 
<http://www.mind-and-brain.de/>


Requirements:
- a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience or any other relevant field,
- solid experience with at least one experimental technique relevant to 
the research project (e.g., psychophysics, EEG, TMS, fMRI, eye-tracking, 
etc.),
- publication(s) in international journals,
- good programming and statistical skills,
- fluency in English.

The position is available immediately and applications will be 
considered until the position is filled. Interested applicants should 
send an email quoting the code number DM.08.12 and include a CV, a brief 
statement of motivation, and the names and contact information for 2 
references. For further information or to submit an application, please
