[visionlist] PhD Position in Visual Cognitive Neuroscience in Giessen, Germany

[Daniel Kaiser]

Hi everyone,

We have an opening for a PhD student in the Neural Computation Group
<www.danielkaiser.net> at the Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany.
The position can be filled from September 2025, and is for 3 years.

The position is supported by the third-party funded project "RELATIONS",
which sets out to understand how social relations (i.e., relations among
multiple people) and non-social relations (i.e. relations among multiple
objects) influence perception in similar or different ways. We will further
explore how these types of relations are coded in the brain (using EEG and
fMRI) and in artificial neural networks. The project will be carried out in
collaboration with Liuba Papeo <https://liubapapeolab.com/>, University of
Lyon.

This is a great opportunity for a candidate who is interested in visual
cognition and its neural correlates. Candidates should ideally have prior
experience with EEG and/or fMRI for addressing questions in (visual)
cognitive neuroscience, good programming skills (matlab or python), and a
general interest in the brain mechanisms of visual perception.

Our lab features a diverse team of young scientists that work on a set of
exciting topics in visual cognitive neuroscience. You can find more about
us here: www.danielkaiser.net

Beyond our lab, Giessen offers a unique world-class community of vision
researchers, who are centrally involved in to two large-scale research
consortia working on a variety of topics in perception and action
("Cardinal Mechanisms of Perception", www.sfb-perception.de/index-en, and
„The Adaptive Mind”, www.theadaptivemind.de). Our group provides a
supportive and collaborative atmosphere and excellent opportunities for
discussion and training.

As a city, Giessen is a small but lively university town close to Frankfurt
with a high proportion of students.

The official job ad can be found here (application deadline is on 12th
March):

Please feel free to forward the job ad to potential candidates. I'm very
happy to answer any questions on the position, the project, or our lab -
just get in touch over email: danielkaiser.net at gmail.com

Cheers,
Daniel.
