PhD position in Cognitive Neuroscience in Amsterdam

[Tobias Donner]

The Psychology Department of the University of Amsterdam is currently
hiring a PhD student to study the neural basis of visual awareness
and visual decision-making in humans. The project is a collaboration
of Tobias H. Donner and Victor A.F. Lamme. We plan to combine visual
psychophysics, neuroimaging (MEG, fMRI), and pharmacological
manipulation to (i) characterize decision-related feedback signals in
human early visual cortex, (ii) localize the source of these signals
in the brain, and (iii) study their role in shaping the contents of
perception.

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong interest
in Cognitive Neuroscience and interdisciplinary research. Candidates
must have an MA (or equivalent) in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience,
Psychology, Physics, or Engineering, or an MD. Experience in computer
programming (e.g., MATLAB) and in EEG/MEG and/or fMRI will be a
significant plus.

Application deadline: November 1, 2009.
