<br>
<b>Job description</b><br>
<br>
The Neuronal Oscillation group at the Donders Institute for Brain,
Cognition and Behaviour has funding available for PhD student and
post-doctoral positions in the context of a project focused on studying
how oscillatory activity controls the flow of information in the human
working brain. The human brain is composed of multiple regions that
need to be flexibly engaged and disengaged depending on the cognitive
task performed. A fundamental question in cognitive neuroscience is how
the functional architecture of the working brain is shaped. You will
investigate the role of oscillatory brain activity in determining the
functional architecture by studying cross-frequency interactions
between different regions in the context of cognitive experiments. You
will do so using magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography
(EEG) combined with TMS and functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI). You will also use a brain-computer interface to interact with
the working brain.<br>
Requirements<br>
<br>
Candidates for the PhD position should have a Master’s degree (or
equivalent) in a field related to cognitive neuroscience or signal
processing (e.g. experimental/cognitive psychology, biology,
neuroscience, computer science, electrical engineering). Excellent
candidates from other scientific backgrounds will also be considered.
Good programming skills (Matlab) are highly desirable. Candidates for
the postdoctoral research position should have a PhD degree in a field
related to cognitive neuroscience, but candidates from other scientific
backgrounds can also apply. The record of published research
familiarity with neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, EEG-MEG, and/or TMS)
and programming skills (Matlab) will be taken into account in the
selection criteria. Proficiency in oral and written English is
essential. You are expected to work as part of a team, sharing
technical know-how and ideas.<br>
<b><br>
Organization</b><br>
<br>
The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour consists of
the Centre for Cognition, the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging and the
Centre for Neuroscience. The mission of the Centre for Cognitive
Neuroimaging is to conduct cutting-edge fundamental research in
cognitive neuroscience. Much of the rapid progress in this field is
driven by the development of complex neuro-imaging techniques for
measuring activity in the human working brain - an area in which the
Centre plays a leading role. The research themes cover central
cognitive functions, such as perception, action, control, decision
making, attention, memory, language, learning and plasticity. The
Centre also aims to establish how the different brain areas coordinate
their activity with very high temporal precision to enable human and
animal cognition. This internationally renowned centre currently is
home to more than 100 PhD students and post-docs from more than 20
different countries, offering a stimulating and multidisciplinary
research environment. The centre is equipped with three MRI scanners
(7T, 3T, 1.5T), a 275 channels MEG system, a EEG-TMS laboratory,
several (MR-compatible) EEG systems, and high-performance computational
facilities. English is the lingua franca at the centre. You will work
within the Centre’s Neuronal Oscillations group (
