[FieldTrip] JOB ALERT: 2 postdoc positions - naturalistic predictive processing & MEG

[Ingmar de Vries]

Dear all,


   1. I recently opened 2 postdoc positions in my lab @DIPseN (formerly
   CIMeC), University of Trento, in Italy, as part of an Italian FIS3 starting
   grant. TOPIC: Investigating predictive neural representations in
   naturalistic settings using MEG-based dynamic RSA The candidate will join
   an experienced and collaborative double-lab team (led by 2 PIs with FIS
   grants) with strong expertise in predictive processing in naturalistic
   dynamic input using M/EEG. We hold weekly lab meetings, biweekly journal
   clubs and biweekly M/EEG user meetings. Besides this vibrant research
   environment, Trentino is an area filled with natural beauty with lots of
   outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, swimming in lakes and skiing.
   Additionally, you are only a train ride away from cultural cities such as
   Verona, Venice, Milano or Bologna. Requirements: - PhD, ideally in cog
   neurosci (or related field) with experience in predictive processing or
   related fields (e.g., attention)
   2. - Neuroimaging experience (M/EEG or fMRI, MVPA/RSA) - Strong
   programming skills (e.g., Matlab or Python) - Very good English skills, a
   high level of motivation, reliability, independence, and enthusiasm to work
   in a team.
   3. Relevant papers:
