The
Chair
of Neuroimaging at TU Dresden, Germany
is offering a postdoc position. The position is funded by the
Excellence Cluster “Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop” (CeTI),
https://www.ceti.one/.
The position is available for three years initially but can be extended.
CeTI-position_Kiebel_1 –
Research associate / Postdoc
for computational neuroscience
Topic:
Computational modelling of sequences of goal-directed actions and multisensory integration
Tasks: This position will develop
computational models how humans integrate multisensory sensory input while performing sequences of goal-directed actions. We will be using Bayesian inference techniques in combination with nonlinear dynamic systems to model the perception of observed human
movements and the inference of intent. This position is embedded in the newly funded research excellence cluster ‘Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI)’
and will work alongside cognitive neuroscientists, roboticists, psychologists, engineers and computer scientists. In collaboration with experimenters, the candidate will use the developed models to experimentally test predictions about how humans use multisensory
information during goal-reaching.
Requirements: We are looking for a
candidate with a PhD degree in computational neuroscience, physics, maths, robotics, computer science, or related fields, ideally with expertise in computational models of human behaviour. Additional expertise in Bayesian inference, EEG, eye tracking analysis,
or multisensory integration is a plus.
The excellence cluster CeTI and TU Dresden provide an outstanding scientific infrastructure and ideal environment for interdisciplinary collaboration. For computational
work, the group has access to the TU Dresden high-performance computing clusters. Experiments by collaborators will be performed at the Neuroimaging Centre Dresden (http://www.nic-tud.de). All computing and experimental facilities are supported by experienced
physics and IT staff. For questions about this position please contact Prof. Stefan Kiebel (stefan.kiebel@tu-dresden.de).
