We are particularly interested in visual neuroscience and potential projects include human behavioral (e.g., psychophysics, large-scale crowdsourcing) and neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG) experiments and computational modeling (e.g., CNNs).

The student / postdoc will be integrated in a thriving research community under the umbrella of the Center for Mind, Brain and Behavior with strong regional, national and international connections, including numerous collaborative research endeavors (e.g., SFB on Cardinal Mechanisms of Perception, IRTG 1901 The Brain in Action). Giessen is a university town, located in the center of Germany around 60km north of Frankfurt.</p><p class="MsoNormal">We encourage applicants to apply who<br class="">- are highly motivated to do research on human visual neuroscience and computational modeling<br class="">- are familiar with at least one of the methods we use (see above)<br class="">- have experience in programming (e.g., Python, Matlab) and strong quantitative skills<br class="">- have completed or are close to completing a master’s degree in psychology, computer science, neuroscience or a related field<br class="">- enjoy working independently as well as in a team </p><p class="MsoNormal">The PhD position is funded for at least 3 years, with a salary corresponding to 65% of payment group E13 according to the collective agreement of the State of Hesse (TV-H). The postdoc position depends on a successful fellowship application (e.g., DFG, Humboldt Foundation) and international students are particularly encouraged to apply.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">To apply, please email your CV, a brief statement of research interests, and the names of up to three references to Katharina Dobs (</span><a href="mailto:katharina.dobs@gmail.com" class="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#0061ff" class="">katharina.dobs@gmail.com</font></a><span class="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">).</span></p></div><div class=""><br class="">-- <br class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="" style="color: rgb(136, 136, 136);">Katharina Dobs</div><div class="" style="color: rgb(136, 136, 136);"><a href="http://www.katharinadobs.com" class="">www.katharinadobs.com</a></div><div class="" style="color: rgb(136, 136, 136);"><a href="mailto:katharina.dobs@gmail.com" class="">katharina.dobs@gmail.com</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
