Postdoctoral Fellow in fMRI Studies of Visual Perception
November 12, 2008Postdoctoral fellow in fMRI studies of visual perception
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the laboratory of Serge Dumoulin, at the Helmholtz Institute, Experimental Psychology Division, Utrecht University, Utrecht, Netherlands.
The successful candidate will investigate cortical representations of visual perception using fMRI and novel model-based data-analysis techniques. This project will extend methods that reconstruct human population receptive field (pRF) properties and use them to investigate the functional properties of cortical representations. Facilities include 3T and 7T MRI scanners, and equipment for fMRI data-analysis and visual psychophysics. Utrecht is a beautiful, vibrant and historic city close to Amsterdam.
Candidates should (nearly) have a PhD and extensive research experience in computational, visual or cognitive neuroscience. Good programming skills (e.g. Matlab), and a high affinity with quantitative analyses is highly preferred. Further details and informal enquiries may be directed to Serge Dumoulin (www.fss.uu.nl/ps/dumoulin, email: s.o.dumoulin@uu.nl). He will be at SfN in Washington to meet up with interested candidates.
Applicants should send a letter of application, clearly outlining the candidate’s expertise and research interests, along with a CV, and names of 2-3 references to s.o.dumoulin@uu.nl. The position is open until a suitable candidate has been found.
