<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The group of Dr. Natalia Zaretskaya at the Institute of Psychology, University of Graz / BioTechMed-Graz is looking for three motivated doctoral students to study subjective aspects
of visual perception using a combination of visual illusions and functional/structural MRI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The project is funded by BioTechMed-Graz (</span><a href="https://biotechmedgraz.at/en/"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">https://biotechmedgraz.at/en/</span></a><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">
) and is focused on studying visual perception in healthy individuals and in patients experiencing hallucinations. The clinically relevant work will be done in close collaboration with the Neurology and Ophthalmology clinics of the Styrian State Hospital.
The project provides an opportunity to learn advanced (f)MRI techniques, including quantitative morphometry, surface-based analysis, pRF mapping, high-resolution structural and functional MRI, while answering exciting scientific questions.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The position is for one year, with the possibility of extension for up to four years in total. PhD candidates will be employed under a work contract with health and pension benefits.
