The BPN lab (www.bpn.uni-hamburg.de) at the University of Hamburg, located in one of Germany's largest and most liveable cities, invites applications for a postdoc position (1 year, 100% TV-L 13 pay scale) on crossmodal plasticity in the sensory periphery. Responsibilities include designing and conducting experimental studies in healthy adults as well as in blind individuals, analyzing the acquired data, and publishing research findings. Anticipated start date is February 2021. The full job announcement can be found on our website at:
https://www.psy.uni-hamburg.de/en/arbeitsbereiche/biologische-psychologie-und-neuropsychologie/stellenangebote.html
Please send informal inquiries and applications (including a cover letter, CV, degree certificates and names of two referees) by 15 November 2020 to: patrick.bruns at uni-hamburg.de

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience for the project “Crossmodal learning”. The research focus will be on combining neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG) and behavioural measurements (also using virtual reality) to understand how the human brain can learn across different sensory modalities. The project is associated with the SFB/Transregio "Crossmodal Learning" of the University of Hamburg and four partner universities and research institutes in Beijing (China). As a University of Excellence, Hamburg is one of the strongest research universities in Germany.
The project (supervised by Prof. Dr. Michael Rose) will be based at the Institute of Systems Neuroscience (head: Prof Christian Büchel) at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany.
Requirements:

A PhD in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, biomedical engineering, computer science or a related discipline.
Strong experience in programming and in analysing neuroimaging experiments Keen interest in experimental approaches to study human learning and memory.
Motivation to work independently as well as in a team environment.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Salary depends on experience and is based on German regulations (TVöD-VKA-13 100%). The appointment will be initially for 3 years with the possibility for continuation. If you are interested, please send one pdf-document including your CV, a brief statement of research interest, and the contact details of two academic referees to rose at uke.de .
