appointment for 2 years and extensions beyond 2 years are possible
- Working period: 65 % (25,025 h/w)

At the University of Göttingen, a new Collaborative Research Center (CRC)
1528 “Cognition of Interaction” will be established with funding from the
German Research Foundation (DFG). In 22 projects, the CRC 1528 “Cognition
of Interaction” investigates how fundamental cognitive functions and their
neurobiological foundations contribute to human and nonhuman primate social
behavior and social interactions. The CRC is formed by a highly
interdisciplinary consortium formed by systems and computational
neuroscientists, data scientists, psychologists and behavioral and
cognitive biologists. Partner institutions are the University of Göttingen,
the University Medical Center, the German Primate Center, the Max Planck
Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, the University Hospital
Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Weizmann Institute of Science.
In the context of this CRC, the Neural Circuits and Cognition Lab of Caspar
Schwiedrzik at the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen is looking for
an outstanding PhD student interested in studying face perception and
predictive processing. The project investigates neural mechanisms of face
perception and predictive processing at the level of circuits and single
cells, utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in
combination with electrophysiology and pharmacology in non-human primates.
The Neural Circuits and Cognition Lab seeks to understand the cortical
basis and computational principles of visual perception and
experience-dependent plasticity in the macaque and human brain. To this
end, we use a multimodal approach including fMRI-guided
electrophysiological recordings in non-human primates and fMRI and iEEG in
humans. The PhD student will play a key role in our research efforts in
this area. The lab is located at the European Neuroscience Institute
Göttingen (https://www.eni-g.de) and the German Primate Center (
https://www.dpz.eu), which are interdisciplinary research centers with
international faculty and students pursuing cutting-edge research in
neuroscience. Further scientific exchange within the CRC and the Leibniz
ScienceCampus ‘Primate Cognition’ (https://www.primate-cognition.eu)
ensures a broad interdisciplinary framework for networking and cooperation.
The PhD student will have access to a dedicated imaging center with a
dedicated 3T research scanner, state-of-the-art electrophysiology, and
behavioral setups. For an overview of our work and representative
publications, please see our website
https://www.eni-g.de/groups/neural-circuits-and-cognition.
The position is available immediately with an initial appointment for 2
years and a salary according to 65% TV-L E13. Extensions beyond 2 years are
possible. The successful candidate will join one of the many excellent
graduate schools on the Göttingen Campus.
Candidates should have a degree (master, diploma or equivalent) in a
relevant field (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, biology), and ideally prior
experience with non-human primates, strong quantitative, programming, and
experimental skills, and share a passion for understanding the neural basis
of visual perception and its plasticity. A good command of English is a
requirement, but fluency in German is not essential.
Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a description of
their scientific interests and the names and contact information of two
references who are able to comment on your academic background and who
agreed to be contacted to Caspar M. Schwiedrzik (cschwie3(a)gwdg.de)
The University Medical Center Göttingen is committed to professional
equality. We therefore seek to increase the proportion of under-represented
genders. Applicants with disabilities and equal qualifications will be
given preferential treatment.

Dear colleagues,
The Board of Directors of the International Society for Research on Emotion (ISRE) has opened nominations for new Editor(s)-in-Chief for the Society’s journal, Emotion Review. Emotion Review is a quarterly journal that publishes conceptual and theoretical articles about emotion (broadly defined, and approached from any academic discipline). The journal is influential and widely cited, with a 2020 Impact Factor of 6.469. The publisher provides a modest stipend so that editors can pay for administrative assistance.
The journal often has two editors, and the multidisciplinary nature of the journal would make it desirable for them to represent different academic disciplines. The Editors-in-Chief normally serve a term of five years, but a minimum commitment of three years will be sufficient. Candidates should be members of ISRE and should be available to begin receiving manuscripts early in 2023. Self-nominations are welcome. Nominations of a pair of candidates who would serve as Co-Editors-in-Chief would be welcomed, especially if the nominees represent different disciplines or areas of expertise.
Nominations or expressions of interest should be sent by email to ISRE’s President Ursula Hess at Ursula.Hess(a)hu-berlin.de<mailto:Ursula.Hess@hu-berlin.de>.
Sincerely yours,
ISRE board members

Dear All,
I would appreciate it if you`d propagate the following opportunity among
prospective students.
The Institute of Psychology at the University of Pecs, Hungary, has started
a PhD program for international students. During the program, among other
possibilities, students can join research that aims to extend our knowledge
about the cognitive and neural background of face perception. We`re
particularly interested in how semantic knowledge about a person interacts
with affective processes during recognition. The students will have access
to the following equipment in our lab:
- device for accurate reaction time measurements (cedrus)
- eye-tracker (Toobi TX300)
- physiological measurements (BIOPAC modules: EDA, heart rate, respiration
rate, EMG etc)
- EEG (brain products, 64 channel)
- noldus observer
Please note that there is a tuition fee (3500 euros per semester in the
first and second year, and 2500 euros per semester in the third and fourth
year).
The deadline for the application program 31.01.2022 (which might be
potentially extended, but it would be better to contact me before this).
