<div dir="ltr">Profs. Kristine Krug and Andrew Parker of the
Sensory Physiology group at the Otto-von-Guericke
Magdeburg seek to hire two researchers (pre- or
postdoctoral) in primate visual neurophysiology. The
research group investigates how neuronal interactions
shape 3D-perception and perceptual decisions in primates.
We research the relationship between neurons, circuits and
behaviour in Rhesus monkeys and humans, with methods
including cellular neurophysiology, high field magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) and cutting-edge brain
intervention methods, including optogenetics and
electrical micro-stimulation. <br>

Position 1 (326/2022): <br class="">
In this DFG-funded project, we will use
photorealistic visual images to understand the
neuronal integration of visual cues for depth
and shape in the ventral stream pathways of the
primate brain. Working with Andrew Parker and
other members of the Sensory Physiology group,
we plan a comprehensive investigation of how
different cues to depth are combined in
generating the responses of single V4 and PIT
neurons, specifically examining combinations of
binocular depth with shading, texture or motion
parallax cues and comparing the contribution of
single neuron signalling with population
encoding. The project will use advanced computer
graphics to prepare naturalistic images of 3D
objects in which different cues to depth can be
independently manipulated. An interest in
quantitative neuroscience will be essential for
this project.<br class="">
The post is either at pre- or postdoctoral level
and will provide an opportunity to register for
a PhD degree at the university, for which a
separate application will be required after
appointment.<br class="">
Start date: as soon as possible for three years<br

Salary: TVL-13; ca. € 2800-5500 per month

Postdoc 2 (331/2022): <br class="">
We seek a postdoctoral scientist to conduct
high-dimensional neurophysiological recordings
and optogenetic stimulation in Rhesus monkeys
investigating the neural coding for naturalistic
3D-motion stimuli and decision-making under
social influence. They will collaborate within a
multi-disciplinary team while taking
responsibility for research progress and
research reporting, presentations at scientific
meetings etc. Main responsibilities include
contributing to the development of methodology,
the conduct of animal experiments and the
fostering of international collaborations.</div>
