PhD position at Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization

At the department of Nonlinear Dynamics of the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization Goettingen, there is an immediate opening for a PhD student position (BAT IIa/2). The successful applicant will work in an interdisciplinary project within the Bernstein Focus for Neurotechnology. The project is dedicated to neural mechanisms of auditory information processing and includes computational modeling and psychophysical experiments. We provide a stimulating scientific environment in a dynamic interdisciplinary team, state-of-the-art computing facilities and qualified and individual supervision. Applicants are supposed to have finished a degree in the sciences and to have a background in computational neuroscience. The position is initially limited to six months. A prolongation for up to three years and the opportunity to proceed with a PhD depends only on success of work. Knowledge of German language is not required. The institute is committed to Employment Equity and encourages applications from all qualified candidates, including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and women.

Postdoc positions Cognitive Neuroscience Lab / Sensorimotor Group (DPZ)

The Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory of Prof. Stefan Treue and the Sensorimotor Group of Dr. Alexander Gail at the German Primate Center (DPZ) in Göttingen, Germany, invite applications for Postdoc positions.

Research in our laboratories focuses on the neural basis of visual attention, visual motion perception, sensorimotor processing, and neuroprosthetics. We focus on extracellular recordings from primate cortex and human psychophysics, but also use functional imaging and computational neural modeling (www.dpz.eu/cnl and www.dpz.eu/smg).

As part of the Center for System Neuroscience (CSN) and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) we offer a stimulating, multi-disciplinary research environment with a strong background in both, experimental and computational neuroscience.

Postdoc applicants should have relevant experience in system neuroscience research.

Applications should include a cover letter, short CV, list of publications, university certificates, and names (incl. contact info) of 2-3 possible references. Please send your application to application-cnl@dpz.eu (preferably as PDF document).

PhD positions Cognitive Neuroscience Lab / Sensorimotor Group (DPZ)

The Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory of Prof. Stefan Treue and the Sensorimotor Group of Dr. Alexander Gail at the German Primate Center (DPZ) in Göttingen, Germany, invite applications for several open and fully funded PhD positions (www.dpz.eu/index.php?id=157&L=1).

Research in our laboratories focuses on the neural basis of visual attention, visual motion perception, sensorimotor processing, and neuroprosthetics. We focus on extracellular recordings from primate cortex and human psychophysics, but also use functional imaging and computational neural modeling (www.dpz.eu/index.php?id=91 and www.dpz.eu/smg).

As part of the Center for System Neuroscience (CSN) and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) we offer a stimulating, multi-disciplinary research environment with a strong background in both, experimental and computational neuroscience. Students can choose among multiple PhD programs of the Georg August University School of Science (GAUSS).

We look for highly motivated students with a strong interest in system neuroscience. A degree in neuroscience, physics, engineering, biology, psychology, or related fields is required. Experience in programming is of significant advantage.

Applications should include a cover letter, short CV, list of publications, university certificates, and names (incl. contact info) of 2-3 possible references. Please send your application to application-cnl@dpz.eu (preferably as PDF document).
