*PhD position in the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) in
Granada (Spain)*

We are looking for a highly motivated student to enroll in a 4 year PhD
program (or 3 yr PhD +  1 yr postdoc) in the the Mind, Brain and Behavior
Research Center (CIMCYC; http://cimcyc.ugr.es/), a state-of-the-art
multidisciplinary building which includes several research groups working
on different topics (
http://cimcyc.ugr.es/pages/personal/grupos-de-investigacion).  The CIMCYC
is equipped with a 3T Siemens MR System, TMS, and several eye trackers and
EEG recording systems.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Maria Ruz (
http://www.ugr.es/~mruz/eng), in an interdisciplinary research project
centered on functional neuroimaging in humans, funded by the Spanish
'Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad' . Topics of study will be
cognitive control, consciousness and/or interpersonal interactions.

We encourage applicants with a strong interest in human neuroimaging
research (especially in fMRI), with an educational background in any
related discipline (i.e. neuroscience, computer science, physics,
biomedical engineering, psychology, medicine or related fields).
Programming skills (e.g. Matlab) and previous experience in human
neuroimaging are highly desirable. Applicants must have at least 300 ECTS
(60 of them at postgraduate level), hands-on research experience
(equivalent to at least 12 ECTS), and be proficient in English. Start date
will be the beginning of 2015.

The application deadline is quite close (26th of September, 2014), and
applications must be made through the online platform here:
