You should have an excellent PhD degree, or equivalent (or be currently working towards one) in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Further, you should demonstrate a solid interest in research on selective attention, crossmodal information processing, and statistical learning, ideally documented by your publication(s). Advanced skills in experimental and data analysis programming with MATLAB and R are essential for the postdoc position. Experience with neuroscience techniques, in particular: EEG/ ERP as well as Brain Vision Analyzer are highly desirable.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Your benefits.</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The chair of General and Experimental Psychology of LMU Munich is one of the largest psychological chairs in Germany. Currently, there are ca. 25-30 collaborators with backgrounds in different fields in cognitive neuroscience: behavioral techniques, mathematical modeling, biological psychology (i.e., EEG, TMS, tDCS, fMRI), and the experimental investigation of neuropsychological/ neuropsychiatric patients. Further, the chair hosts an international MSc program in "Neuro-Cognitive Psychology", attracting some 20 highly motivated and clever (i.e., 'elite') students per annum. Thus, the scientific environment of the postdoc position is extremely international, methodologically-multifaceted, and stimulating.<span style="background-color: yellow; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Your application.</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Please send a completed application form: a cover letter detailing your research experience and interests, a C.V., and two academic references electronically to Prof. Dr. Thomas Geyer (<b>geyer@lmu.de</b>; website: www.psy.lmu.de/exp). The closing date for applications is September 14th, 2018. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview (in the second half of September). LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer. Given equivalent qualifications, applications by women and disabled persons will be preferred. Payment will follow German salary scale TVL-E13.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Best regards,</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Thomas Geyer and Zhuanghua Shi</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></p></body></html>
