Connectionists: Postdoc position in computational cognitive neuroscience at Max Planck Institute in Berlin

[Nicolas W. Schuck]

The Max Planck Research Group NeuroCode, under the direction of Nicolas Schuck, seeks applicants for one postdoctoral researcher.
The lab studies the neural and computational basis of learning, memory and decision making in humans using fMRI, behavioral and computational techniques and is part of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany.
The position will last for up to 3 years and is available from October 2017 onwards, but later start dates are possible.
The successful candidate will focus on studying the neural representations underlying decision making and learning. Applicants need to hold (or expect to hold by September 2017) a doctorate in Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science or related disciplines, and should have experience with using behavioral, functional neuroimaging, computational, advanced statistical and/or machine learning methods to study the neural basis of learning and decision making. Expertise with any one of these methodologies is desirable but not required. In addition, the ability to work independently and high proficiency of the English language are essential.
For further inquiries about the position, please contact Dr. Nicolas Schuck (nschuck at princeton.edu<mailto:nschuck at princeton.edu>). The official job posting can be found at https://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/sites/default/files/download/jobs/07-2017_stellenanzeige_mpfg_neurocode-i-e_0.pdf
The Max Planck Institute for Human Development (www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de<http://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de>) offers excellent infrastructure including a research dedicated fMRI scanner as well as support staff and equipment for conducting experiments (e.g., behavioral laboratory, fMRI, EEG, Eye-tracking). It provides an international research environment, with English being the working language.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or disability status. The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
Applicants should submit a cover letter describing research interests, a curriculum vitae, one or two representative papers (published), and two letters of recommendation.
Please send all materials preferentially as a single PDF file to nschuck at princeton.edu<mailto:nschuck at princeton.edu>. Applications for the positions should be submitted by April 15th, 2017, to ensure consideration. However, review of applications will continue until the available positions are filled.
