<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We have a <b>fully-funded postdoc position and PhD position</b>
</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">available in the Max Planck research group of Dr. Rademaker – located at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt, Germany (</span><a href="http://www.rademakerlab.org/" style="font-size: 14px;">www.rademakerlab.org</a><span style="font-size: 14px;">).</span></p>
<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>We study: </b>How the interplay between sensation and cognition gives rise to the rich experience that is human perception. Current work investigates how images briefly held in mind can be remembered and used in a robust
manner. For example, when you’re perceiving the surrounding world while simultaneously holding an image in mind - how can your brain best represent both percept and the memory? Besides working memory, the lab is broadly interested in topics that intersect perception,
spatial representations, cognition, and action in the brain.</p>
