Postdoc and PhD positions in cognitive neuroscience to work with Prof. Dr. Christian Doeller at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany

Postdoc and PhD positions are available in the newly established Department of Psychology (Director: Christian Doeller) at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany.

We are seeking highly talented candidates to contribute to our long-term goal to identify the fundamental neural coding principles underlying human thinking and behaviour. The broad mission of our Department is reflected in a wide variety of research areas in cognitive neuroscience, including spatial navigation, memory, time processing, learning and decision making, knowledge acquisition, and perception; and translational research on population coding in the hippocampal-entorhinal system, cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer’s disease. Our key research methods are fMRI (including high-field MRI at 7T for structure-function mapping), MEG (EEG), virtual reality (VR), a wide variety of innovative cognitive tasks, psychophysics, brain-computer interfaces, machine learning and AI-driven data analysis. Pursuing an integrative neuroscience approach, the Department maintains structural, long-term cooperations on translational neuroscience with the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim, Norway, headed by May-Britt and Edvard Moser.

The successful candidate will work in one or more of our research areas and should be familiar with one or more of our research methods. The candidate will be part of a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary and international team embedded in a unique world-leading research environment with outstanding facilities and research infrastructure (multiple 3T MR scanners including Siemens Connectom, one 7T MR scanner, MEG, EEG, VR labs, eye tracking and psychophysics labs, and access to neurological patients through the Day Clinic for Cognitive Neurology).

The deadline for application submission is 8 July 2018 (midnight).
