Dear all,

there is a postdoc position available at the TU Dresden/Germany.

With best wishes, Stefan
--
The Chair of Neuroimaging<https://tu-dresden.de/mn/psychologie/ifap/ni?set_language=en>
at TU Dresden, Germany is offering a postdoc position. The position is
funded by the Excellence Cluster "Tactile Internet with
Human-in-the-Loop" (CeTI), https://www.ceti.one/. The position is
available for three years initially but can be extended.
CeTI-position_Kiebel_1 - Research associate / Postdoc for
computational neuroscience
Topic: Computational modelling of sequences of goal-directed actions
and multisensory integration

Tasks: This position will develop computational models how humans
integrate multisensory sensory input while performing sequences of
goal-directed actions. We will be using Bayesian inference techniques
in combination with nonlinear dynamic systems to model the perception
of observed human movements and the inference of intent. This position
is embedded in the newly funded research excellence cluster 'Tactile
Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI<https://www.ceti.one/>)' and
will work alongside cognitive neuroscientists, roboticists,
psychologists, engineers and computer scientists. In collaboration
with experimenters, the candidate will use the developed models to
experimentally test predictions about how humans use multisensory
information during goal-reaching.

Requirements: We are looking for a candidate with a PhD degree in
computational neuroscience, physics, maths, robotics, computer
science, or related fields, ideally with expertise in computational
models of human behaviour. Additional expertise in Bayesian inference,
EEG, eye tracking analysis, or multisensory integration is a plus.

The excellence cluster CeTI and TU Dresden provide an outstanding
scientific infrastructure and ideal environment for interdisciplinary
collaboration. For computational work, the group has access to the TU
Dresden high-performance computing clusters. Experiments by
collaborators will be performed at the Neuroimaging Centre Dresden
(http://www.nic-tud.de). All computing and experimental facilities are
supported by experienced physics and IT staff. For questions about
this position please contact Prof. Stefan Kiebel
(stefan...@tu-dresden.de<mailto:stefan...@tu-dresden.de>).


How To Apply: Please submit your comprehensive application including
the usual documentation (CV, cover letter including a brief summary of
research interests, and two references), by January 4th, 2019 (stamped
arrival date of the university central mail service applies) with the
reference "CeTI-position_Kiebel_1" in the subject header preferably
