Postdoctoral position in Human Psychophysics with High field and/or 3T fMRI (TVöD-Bund E13, 100%)

Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, department of Prof. Li Zhaoping (Dept of Sensory and Sensormotor systems), in collaboration with Prof. Klaus Scheffler (Dept of High-field magnetic resonance imaging), is looking for a highly skilled and motivated individual to work on projects to probe the hierarchical feedforward and feedback brain networks behind visual attentional and perceptual processes using human psychophysics techniques and High-field or 3T fMRI methodologies (e.g., laminar fMRI). The framework and motivation of the projects can be found at http://www.lizhaoping.org/zhaoping/AGZL_HumanVisual.html . The visual processes can involve, for example, visual search tasks, stereo vision tasks, visual illusions, and will be discussed during the application process. When needed, TMS and/or EEG, eye tracking, and other methodologies can be used in combination with fMRI/MRI. The postdoc will be working closely with the principal investigators and other members of their teams.
