<div class=""><b class="">Opening for a PhD student at Donders Institute, Netherlands</b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A PhD position is available in Dr. Janneke Jehee's lab at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior. The successful candidate will work on studies of visual decision-making, sensory uncertainty, and decision confidence. Research
methods include computational modeling, brain imaging (fMRI, MEG), machine learning, behavioral methods, and other techniques.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Virtually every decision we make comes with a sense of confidence – a subjective estimate of decision accuracy. Confidence enables us to monitor and judge the quality of our own decisions and adapt our behavior accordingly. For example, we reduce
speed when driving in bad weather because we are less confident about our estimates of the distance to surrounding traffic. But what makes us feel less confident in these conditions? What brain mechanisms underlie this ability? This project will address these
and other questions regarding the neural basis of sensory uncertainty and visual decision confidence. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The Donders Institute in Nijmegen, Netherlands, is a friendly, collaborative research environment, and home to many outstanding researchers from all over the world. Facilities include high-field 3T and 7T research-dedicated MRI scanners, a 275-channel
MEG system, several (MR-compatible) EEG systems, fully equipped behavioral labs, and high-performance computational facilities. The working language of the Donders Institute is English.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The position will be affiliated with an international network of nine research labs located throughout Europe. The successful candidate will receive interdisciplinary training in theories and methods for the study of visual perception, visual
decision-making, and confidence. This includes many network-wide events and other international training opportunities. </div>
