PhD Position at the Dept. of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology,
Hamburg


The Dept. of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology (Head: Prof. Dr.
Andreas K. Engel) at
the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (Germany) invites
applications for a
PhD student position. The position is available with immediate start.
The appointment will
be for 3 years.

Areas of interest comprise the investigation of dynamic, large-scale
neural interactions
and the characterization of functional networks during perceptual and
attentional
processes in autism spectrum disorders, using techniques such as eye
tracking and EEG/
MEG (possibly also fMRI). Recruitment of individuals with autism will
be performed in
collaboration with the Department of Psychiatrie in Cologne (http://
www.medizin.uni-
koeln.de/kliniken/psychiatrie/Autismus-Sprechstunde/).

Main research interests in the Department are dynamics of distributed
sensory
processing, intermodal and sensorimotor integration, as well as
theories of perception,
action and consciousness. Current projects involve EEG/MEG studies in
humans or
physiological studies in animals. Further information on research at
the Department of
Neurophysiology can be obtained at http://www.uke.uni-hamburg.de or
http://www.40hz.net.

Applicants should have a background in psychology, medicine, biology
or neuro-/
cognitive sciences, and ideally show experience in human EEG/ MEG
studies,
neuroimaging or biosignal analysis. Programming experience (Matlab,
Presentation) is
considered mandatory. You will be responsible for the management and
implementation
of research paradigms, recruitment and neuropsychological testing of
volunteers, data
acquisition and analysis. Interest in clinical neuroscience and
neuropsychology is
desirable as well as knowledge of the German language.
