Humans are social beings and every day we are confronted with a variety of complex biological stimuli such as facial expressions, gestures, body postures, and conversations that occur in a range of different contexts. The question of the present research project is how this type of information and the emotional states that they induce affect the guidance of visual attention in the environment. Knowledge of and experience with brain imaging, eye tracking, programming, and data analysis are recommended.

Appointment
Appointment will initially be for 12 months. After a successful evaluation the appointment will be prolonged for another 36 months. The employment will have to result in a written dissertation by the end of the fourth year.

Salary
The salary is based on the salary scales for academic staff. The salary in the first year amounts to € 2.042,- gross per month, increasing to € 2.612,- gross per month in the fourth year, based on full-time employment.
