job description:

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the newly established Cognitive Neuroscience Group (Professor Niko Busch) at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain.

Our research focuses on the neural and cognitive mechanisms of visual perception and cognition. We combine psychophysical techniques with state-of-the-art EEG analyses. Topics include visual object and scene recognition, change blindness, masking, time perception and the temporal aspects of perception and cognition. In addition, we investigate the role of EEG oscillations in perception and cognition. The research facilities comprise a 128-channel EEG and psychophysics lab (access to other facilities like MRI, TMS, etc. may be possible).

Representative publications:

The successful candidate will be a member of the Berlin School of Mind and Brain at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Research and training at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain focuses on the interface between the humanities and the neurosciences. The School is situated in a lively part of central Berlin. More information about the School and its research environment can be found on the websites: http://www.mind-and-brain.de, http://www.neuroscience-berlin.de, http://www.charite.de.

The successful candidate will be part of a young and dynamic research group. He or she will be strongly encouraged to develop his/her own research lines within the framework of the group´s interests.

Requirements:

-a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience or any other relevant field,

-solid experience with at least one experimental technique relevant to the above-mentioned research topics (e.g., psychophysics, EEG, TMS, fMRI, etc.),

-publication(s) in international journals,

-good programming and statistical skills,

-excellent skills in written and spoken English,

-strong motivation

The full-time position is remunerated according to public service research salary BAT-O IIa AnwTV HU and available until 31 October 2011 (extension possible). The position requires teaching at Master’s and Ph.D. level (in German or English; topics according to expertise/background).
