Dear FieldTrip users,

Sabine Hunnius and I have a PhD position available at the Donders in Nijmegen. Please see below for details. Feel free to forward this to potential candidates.

best regards,
Robert Oostenveld



> Fully funded PhD student position: Online analysis of brain oscillations during infants’ social interactions
> Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour
> Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands
> Application deadline: May 5, 2019
>  
> Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD position at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to conduct research on the neural mechanisms of social-cognitive development in infants. The PhD position is embedded in the SAPIENS project, a European Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, in which 15 early-stage researchers investigate how the dynamics of early social interactions support the development of the social brain. SAPIENS combines advances in ecological, mobile real-time brain and behaviour measurement, data modeling and artificial intelligence to study early social development and to train a new generation of researchers in these ground-breaking approaches.  
>  
> The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Sabine Hunnius and Dr. Robert Oostenveld and will be part of the BabyBRAIN group (see www.dcc.ru.nl/babybrain <http://www.dcc.ru.nl/babybrain>) of the Donders Institute (DI). The DI is a state-of-the art cognitive neuroscience institute with a multidisciplinary approach (see https://www.ru.nl/donders/ <https://www.ru.nl/donders/>). It offers excellent research facilities, including a large infant lab (www.babyandchild.nl <http://www.babyandchild.nl/>), as well as outstanding PhD supervision and technical support. The PhD student will be based at Radboud University, but research visits are planned to collaborators at other research sites within the network (e.g. Birkbeck College, University of London and iMotions, Copenhagen). The intended start date is 1 September 2019.
>  
> Preference will be given to candidates with a degree in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, biomedical science, engineering science or a related field who are highly motivated to conduct challenging interdisciplinary research. You should have affinity with experimental psychology, neuroscience or neurotechnology. Demonstrable experience with techniques for quantitative data analysis and programming (e.g. MATLAB) is highly desirable. Due to the international and interdisciplinary nature of the research group, good collaborative and communication skills are essential.
>  
> Due to the mobility constraints of Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, it is a requirement that the PhD candidate has not resided in the Netherlands for more than 12 months during the last 3 years.
