[FieldTrip] PhD Position via IMPRS-IS

[Benedikt V. Ehinger]

Dear EEG community,

The computational cognitive science group at the University of 
Stuttgart, Germany, is looking for a new PhD student via the IMPRS-IS 
Max Planck Graduate School.

We are working on the intersection of EEG & eye-tracking, mobile EEG, 
statistics, and motion & vision science.

Our lab highly values diversity and encourages applications from 
underrepresented groups, explicitly (but not exclusively) 
first-generation students, women, immigrants, neurodiverse persons, 
parents, BIPOC, LGBTQI+.
