Job Description

We are seeking to fill a fully funded PhD position (75% TV-L 13 state employees salary scheme) in cognitive neuroscience. The successful applicant will contribute to a project, investigating selective attention and working memory processes in a multisensory context. In particular, we are interested in how the auditory and the visual system interact during the deployment of attention in multisensory environments and how audio-visual information is integrated. To answer those research questions, we primarily use the EEG in combination with cutting edge analysis methods (e.g., multivariate pattern classification). Beyond that, the application of eye-tracking or (functional) MRI is possible within the project. Your responsibilities will include conducting (EEG-) experiments, data analysis, preparation of manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals, as well as presentation of scientific results at (inter-)national conferences.
