All teaching done by our group is in English, but knowing how to pronounce “DANKESCHÖN” would certainly be a plus. The big PRO of this position is that it is NOT dependent on external funding, there’s no fixed research agenda and therefore you can be bold and creative in what you would want to work on in our lab with a perspective to stay up to 6 years. </div><div style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(39, 39, 39); min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(39, 39, 39);" class="">Located at the heart of Europe, Frankfurt (am Main) is one of the most international cities in Germany with a vibrant and international community of cognitive neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, computational modelers, and vision scientists.
