Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher in the
international NWO/ESRC/DFG-funded ORAplus-cooperation project 'Tracing
the template: Investigating the nature, capacity and dynamics of
implicit and explicit attentional sets‘ (Profs. C. Olivers, Amsterdam;
M. Eimer, London; H.J. Müller, München, S. Pollmann und M. Hanke,
Magdeburg).

An attentional template is a flexible representation reflecting the
system’s current preferences, as derived from continuously changing task
demands as well as prior selection history. The project investigates the
content, capacity, format and neural representation of attentional
templates. To pursue this goal, the project partners will cooperate
closely, using diverse methods, including eye-movement recordings, EEG
and fMRI. For the fMRI-studies that will be carried out centrally in
Magdeburg, we are looking for a postdoc with fMRI-experience. This
position offers an excellent opportunity to work with both an
international consortium of attention researchers and in one of
Germany's leading imaging facilities. Research institutions in
Magdeburg, such as the Otto-von- Guericke-University, the
Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology, and the German Center for
Neuro-Degenerative Diseases, offer a multitude of research-dedicated
MRI-scanners (Siemens Magnetom (7 Tesla), Siemens Trio, Siemens Verio,
Siemens Skyra und Philips Achieva). The Institute of Psychology operates
its own compute cluster for data analysis.  This research project is
performed in close collaboration of the project partners, including the
opportunity to spend research stages at the participating institutions.
