Postdoc and PhD positions computational modelling (Berlin-Germany) *[Deadline
21/11/2022]*


The ERC Advanced Grant “Material Constraints Enabling Human Cognition
(MatCo)” at the Freie Universität Berlin aims to build network models of
the human brain that mimic neurocognitive processes involved in language,
communication and cognition. A main strategy is to use neural network
models constrained by neuroanatomical and neurophysiological features of
the human brain in order to explain aspects of human cognition. To this
end, neural network simulations are performed and evaluated in
neurophysiological and neurometabolic experiments. This neurocomputational
and experimental research targets novel explanations of human language and
cognition on the basis of neurobiological principles.

More information about the project can be found here: www.fu-berlin.de/matco In
the MatCo project, 3 positions are currently available:

   - 1 full time position for a Scientific Researcher at the postdoctoral
   level Fixed-term (until 30.9.2025), Salary Scale 13 TV-L FU ID:
   WiMi_MatCo100_08-2022,
   -  2 part time positions (65%) for Scientific Researchers at the
   predoctoral level Fixed-term (until 30.9.2025), Salary Scale 13 TV-L FU ID:
   WiMi_MatCo65_08-2022


 Job tasks and responsibilities:
• Simulation studies with neural network models of language and cognition
• Preparation, implementation and evaluation of neurocognitive experiments
on language and cognition (ECoG, EEG, fMRI).
 • Tractography analyses and use of their results for optimizing neural
models

 Requirements:
• Completed university degree (MA, MSc or equivalent) in a relevant field
(e.g., linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, medicine)
 • Only for the postdoc position: Completion of a PhD (or MD) in a relevant
field (linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, medicine)

Desirable:

• Research experience with biologically constrained neural networks and
with network simulations of cognitive processes
• Experience in empirical experimental language research
*Extended deadline (Monday 21/11/2022) *
