The Department of Sensory and Sensorimotor Systems (PI Prof. Li
Zhaoping) at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics
and at the University of Tübingen is currently looking for
highly skilled and motivated individuals to work on projects
aimed towards understanding visual attentional and perceptual
processes using fMRI/MRI. The framework and motivation of the
projects can be found at:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"
lang="EN-US">The projects can involve, for example, visual
search tasks, stereo vision tasks, visual illusions, and will be
discussed during the application process. fMRI/MRI technology
can be used in combination with other methods such as eye
tracking, TMS and/or EEG methodologies, and other related
methods as necessary. The postdoc will be working closely with
the principal investigator and other members of Zhaoping's team
when needed.</span></p>

lang="EN-US">We use a multidisciplinary approach to investigate
sensory and sensory-motor transforms in the brain (<a
href="http://www.lizhaoping.org">www.lizhaoping.org</a>). Our
approaches consist of both theoretical and experimental
techniques including human psychophysics, fMRI imaging, EEG/ERP,
and computational modelling. One part of our group is located in
the University, in the Centre for Integrative Neurosciences
(CIN), and the other part is in the Max Planck Institute (MPI)
for Biological Cybernetics as the Department for Sensory and
Sensorimotor Systems. You will have the opportunity to learn
other skills in our multidisciplinary group and benefit from
interactions with our colleagues in the university, at MPI, as
well as internationally. This job opening is for the CIN or the
MPI working group. The position (salary level TVöD-Bund E13,
100%) is for a duration of two years. Extension or a permanent
contract after two years is possible depending on situations. We
seek to raise the number of women in research and teaching and
therefore urge qualified women to apply. Disabled persons will
be preferred in case of equal qualification.</span></p>
