POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN SPATIAL PERCEPTION AND
MOTOR CONTROL

A post-doctoral research position (3 yrs) is available at the Radboud
University Nijmegen,
The Netherlands, in the research group of Dr. Pieter Medendorp. Research in
our group
aims to elucidate the computational and neural strategies in human
sensorimotor
processing. This theme is mainly investigated from a neuroscience systems
point of view,
using a combination of computational modeling, psychophysics and imaging
techniques
(EEG, MEG and fMRI). Current research projects investigate topics such as
spatial
constancy, effector selection, eye-hand coordination, vestibular processing,
and spatial
motion perception.

The new project, funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific
Research, will
study the neural signals and mechanisms that preserve spatial constancy for
motor control.
Facilities and tools to support these studies include real-time motion
tracking systems,
eye trackers, visual displays, and a vestibular platform. Two state-of
the-art MRI systems,
whole-head MEG, and an EEG lab are also available.

Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD in neuroscience, or
related field, who
have a strong motivation to do challenging interdisciplinary research.
Experience with
functional imaging, psychophysical techniques, as well as strong programming
skills, and
a demonstrable affinity with quantitative data analysis (e.g. MatLab) is
highly desirable.
Salary will be commensurate with experience. The anticipated start date is
fall 2008, but
earlier is possible.

Nijmegen is the oldest city of the Netherlands, with an interesting history
dating back to
the Roman Empire, nice surrounding scenery (rivers, hills, woods) and a rich
cultural life.

Interested applicants should send CV, statement of background and interests,
and names
of 2 referees to: Pieter Medendorp, Nijmegen Institute for Cognition and
Information,
Radboud University Nijmegen, Montessorilaan 3, 6525 HR Nijmegen, The
Netherlands;
Email: p.medendorp at nici.ru.nl. Web: http://www.nici.ru.nl/~pieterm/. Review
of
applications will begin August 15, 2008, and will continue until the
position is filled.
