[FieldTrip] Postdoctoral Researcher Position on Decision Making and Learning in Düsseldorf

[Markus Butz]

Dear all,

there is a job opening for a PostDoc with our colleague and collaborator 
Gerhard Jocham here at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. It's 
an ERC funded project which will also include MEG, i.e. you'll be also 
working with us. :-)
Please apply and/or spread the word!

Cheers,
Markus


Postdoctoral Researcher position on decision making and learning, 
Institute of Experimental Psychology, Heinrich Heine University 
Düsseldorf, Germany

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position for two years on an 
ERC-funded project in the Biological Psychology of Decision Making Group 
headed by Gerhard Jocham. The lab investigates the neural and 
computational mechanisms of reward-guided learning and decision making 
in humans. The project is focussed on the relationship between 
neurochemistry, cortical dynamics, and decision making. This will be 
investigated using a combination of MEG, pharmacological intervention, 
and computational modelling. The successful candidate is expected to 
conduct their own experiments, but there is also the option to work on 
already existing data sets (MEG and behaviour).

We are seeking enthusiastic candidates with a strong interest in 
decision making. Applicants should have a PhD in psychology, 
neuroscience, or a related field. Demonstrable experience with either 
MEG or EEG and good programming skills (e.g. Matlab, Python) are 
essential. You will be thorough, efficient, a good communicator and 
enjoy both working independently and as part of a dynamic team. An 
excellent command of English is expected.

The Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, in collaboration with nearby 
Research Centre Jülich, provides an excellent environment for 
cutting-edge neuroscience. Being embedded in the local neuroscience 
community, you will additionally benefit from the interactions with 
other researchers in the departments of psychology, medicine, and the 
Research Centre Jülich.

Pay scale will be (subject to the applicant’s qualification) public 
sector pay grade TV-L 13. Starting date is flexible, but no later than 1 
Dec 2023.
Applications should include a brief (max. 1 page) statement of research 
experience/interests and academic achievements, a CV, certificates, and 
names of at least 2 referees (please refrain from including letters of 
recommendation). Please send your application electronically as a single 
PDF file to Gerhard Jocham (gerhard.jocham at hhu.de). Applications will be 
considered on a rolling basis until the post is filled.
