PhD/Postdoc positions in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience available at the BCBL in San Sebastian (Spain) and Max Plank Institute in Leipzig (Germany).
The Perceptual Inference Group is building an interdisciplinary team of cognitive and computational neuroscientists to work at the interface between machine learning and ultra-high-resolution fMRI.
Our group investigates how cortical and subcortical populations of the brain work together to infer the content of noisy sensory signals at multiple timescales. We work primarily in the auditory modality and the human brain, but collaborate closely with animal electrophysiologists.
The positions are funded by the ERC and there will plenty of funding for conferences, traveling between Leipzig and San Sebastian, and visiting our large network of international collaborators. However, the positions will be primarily based in one of the two cities and traveling will be optional.
Ideal candidates will have a background in either cognitive neuroscience (including experimental psychology) or a quantitative discipline (physics, computer science, statistic, or related) and a keen interest in working building models of brain function. Experience on layerfmri, probabilistic modelling, high-resolution fMRI data analysis, state-space models, auditory experimental paradigms, and/or predictive processing are bonuses.
