<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,<br>We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher to join our team at the Department of Psychology, LMU Munich, Germany.<br>The research of our group focuses on the neural mechanisms of memory and navigation in humans, using a multimodal approach with an emphasis on invasive and non-invasive electrophysiology.<br>See below for more information.<br><br>Thanks!<br>Tobias Staudigl<p style="text-align:left"><br>
<a href="https://www.psy.lmu.de/knp/open-positions/index.html">https://www.psy.lmu.de/knp/open-positions/index.html</a> <br><br><em><strong>Postdoctoral Position (m/f/x)</strong></em> <br></p><p style="text-align:left">Institution: Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Department of Psychology, LMU Munich, Germany<br>Hiring date: April 1st, 2022 (later starting dates are negotiable)<br>Application deadline: January 31, 2022<br>Pay category: Tvl, , E13, 100 %<br>Contract term: 2 years (with option to extend)</p>
<p style="text-align:left"><br>Apply for a Postdoc position with us!<br>We
are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on
the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant project “How the
human thalamus guides navigation and memory: a common coding framework
built on direct thalamic recordings” (DirectThalamus), awarded to Prof.
Dr. Tobias Staudigl, Cognitive Neuropsychology, at the Ludwig-Maximilans
University (LMU) Munich, Germany.</p>
<p style="text-align:left">The project investigates the neuronal basis
of memory and spatial navigation processes, with a focus on the
contribution of subcortical brain regions. The successful applicant will
work in a multi-disciplinary environment on a project that aims at
understanding the electrophysiological basis of human memory. The
project comprises research in clinical as well as healthy populations.</p>
<p style="text-align:left"><br>Your responsibilities:<br>- conduct research (including data acquisition, analyses and interpretation) in the context of memory and navigation<br>- prepare and participate in project-based publications<br>- participate in and present research at national and international conferences and workshops<br>- participate in teaching and (co-)supervising students<br>- support and help organize project-based events and activities<br>- participate in organizational and administrative tasks</p>
<p style="text-align:left"><br>Your profile:<br>- a PhD in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or related fields<br>-
fluent in written and spoken English, fluent in spoken German (or
willingness to reach a comparable level of German language skills)<br>-
experience in recording, analyzing and interpreting electrophysiological
data (MEG, EEG, or intracranial EEG) and in conducting experiments with
human participants<br>- proficiency in scripting languages (e.g.,
Matlab, Python, R); experience with advanced multivariate analyses
(e.g., pattern classifiers, RSA) and the Fieldtrip toolbox is desirable,
experience with eye- and/or motion tracking is a plus<br>- strong publication record<br>- interest in teaching and (co-)supervising students<br>- willingness to participate in grant applications<br>- enthusiasm for fundamental research</p>
<p style="text-align:left"><br>The successful candidate will have
expertise in the acquisition and analyses of electrophysiological (EEG,
MEG, or intracranial EEG) . A background in memory research is highly
desirable, as well as prior experience in conducting experiments with
human participants. The candidate should be a highly motivated
researcher who is enthusiastic about fundamental memory research and
willing to actively participate in scientific exchange in a
multidisciplinary work environment as well as the national and
international research community. The successful candidate is expected
to participate in teaching and (co)-supervision of master and doctoral
students. Since the project involves research with patients in a
clinical setting, knowledge of German is highly desirable.<br>Applicants
with disabilities who possess essentially equal qualifications will be
given preference. LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer committed
to excellence through diversity, and therefore explicitly encourages
women to apply. Your workplace is in a central location in Munich and is
very easy to reach by public transport. We offer an interesting and
responsible job with good training and development opportunities.
Part-time employment is possible. The Ludwig Maximilians University
Munich (LMU) is one of the most renowned and largest universities in
Germany.</p>
