Connectionists: PostDoc position at UCL: endogenous brain fluctuations and decision making

[Tobias U. Hauser]

PostDoc position in real-time fMRI at Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry

We are looking for a PostDoc to work on an exciting project investigating the role of endogenous brain fluctuations on decision making, funded by my ERC Starting Grant.

In this project, we will investigate how endogenous, spontaneous fluctuations (aka resting-state fluctuations) influence behaviour. In our previous work (https://pnas.org/content/116/37/18732.short) we showed that moment-to-moment fluctuations affect risk taking behaviour. Here, we want to build on this and see how wide-reaching these effects are, and what the pharmacological bases of these effects are.

We are looking for someone with expertise in advanced functional neuroimaging and preferably experience in real-time fMRI. We think that a postdoc with advanced understanding of time-series analyses and in-depth fMRI experience would be best suited for this position.

Even though the general topic is set, own ideas and project ideas will very much appreciated & encouraged!

The position is for 2 years (at the first instance) and will be based at the Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research and the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, located in Central London.
