The new Chair of Biopsychology studies the neuronal and computational underpinnings of higher cognitive functions including memory, decision making, and learning. A focus is on how the brain dynamically structures information in working memory to enable adaptive behavior. The research group uses neuroscientific techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and eye-tracking, in combination with multivariate analysis methods and computational modeling. The research activities in the group are supported by a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC), a Heisenberg grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG), and ongoing collaborations with various research institutions in Berlin (e.g., MPIB, Charité, Einstein Center for Neuroscience).
Tasks: scientific research and teaching activities along the research themes of the Chair of Biopsychology, including designing, implementing, analyzing, and disseminating research projects with behavioral, neuroscientific, computational, and/or theoretical approaches; The positions include teaching obligations according in TUD’s Bachelor of Psychology course (Biopsychology) and the Master program Cognitive-Affective Neuroscience, including examination matters. Tasks may also include laboratory management and funding acquisition. The postholders will be expected to engage in co-supervision of PhD and MSc projects and are encouraged to develop their own lines of independent research.
Requirements: university and PhD degree (or expect to hold the PhD degree by the starting date) in Psychology, Neuroscience, or related disciplines. A solid background in Cognitive Neuroscience, Biological Psychology, or Neurobiology, and a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring students are required. Candidates should be experienced in designing, performing, analyzing, and publishing experimental research works. Experience with either EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, or similar methodologies will be beneficial. Strong analytical and communication skills, as well as fluency in English and German are required.
