has

2 Post-doc positions
&
3 PhD studentships

Applications are invited for 2 postdoctoral positions for up to 3 years and
3 PhD studentships (4 years of funding) commencing on or soon after 1
December 2002. 

In the project we are especially interested in mapping space-time activity
in the brain (generally known as connectivity). We will use several
techniques to gain insight in the brain dynamics (fMRI, ERP, MEG, TMS). The
topics of the PhD projects are flexible and can be adjusted to the interests
of the candidates. They will also involve psychophysics. The project is an
active collaboration with the FC Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuro-imaging
in Nijmegen (see www.kun.nl/fcdonders/website/index.php).
 
Applicants for the post-doc positions should hold a PhD in a relevant area
(e.g. [cognitive] neuroscience, math, computer science, etc.). We are
especially interested in a young scientist who is interested in developing
mathematical/statistical models for connectivity research. The second
post-doc should have experience with neuro-imaging, good experimental skills
and an interest in psychophysics. 

The PhD student-candidates should have a strong interest in cognitive
neuroscience, excellent grades and an experimental mind. Good programming
skills, experience with neuro-imaging and data-analyses are an asset.

Further details and informal enquiries may be directed to Frans Verstraten
(Email: f.verstraten@fss.uu.nl). He will be at the ECVP in Glasgow to meet
up with interested candidates.

Letters of application, clearly outlining the candidate's expertise and
research interests, along with a curriculum vitae and names and contact
information of at least three referees should be sent to: Dr. Frans
Verstraten, Chair Pionier Search Committee, Department of Psychonomics,
Heidelberglaan 2, NL-3584 CS Utrecht, The Netherlands. 

Review of applications will begin September 30, 2002 and continue until the
positions are filled.
