The research will examine the neural basis of decision making and of multi-stable perception, by comparing computational models of hierarchical neural dynamics with functional imaging activity in humans. Additionally, there will be the possibility of comparing single- and multi-unit recordings from non-human primates, in collaboration with Prof. Kristine Krug, Magdeburg, Germany. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; min-height: 12px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class=""><span style="font-size: 12px;" class="">Candidates must have a degree in physics (or similar), and strong quantitative and writing skills. Postdoctoral applicants should have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., neuroscience, physiology, physics).

Both positions are staff positions and require some teaching. Cognitive Biology is part of a large and vibrant neuroscience community (<a href="https://www.neuroscience-magdeburg.de/research/professor-jazz/" class="">https://www.neuroscience-magdeburg.de/research/professor-jazz/</a>). Magdeburg is a lively university town with a beautiful historical centre around the river Elbe and with convenient transport links to Leipzig and Berlin.
