These studies will use eyetracking, EEG/MEG and behavioral measures. This research builds on work in the Melcher Lab showing how the brain?s time frames, as measured by neural oscillations, play a role in organizing and aligning perception, attention, cognition and action. The Research Associate will lead both fundamental/basic research projects and also more applied projects that explore Individual and clinical differences in temporal processing.
Applicants must have a Master?s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology or Neuroscience. Excellent experimental and neuroimaging skills relevant to the project are required, as demonstrated by publication in international scientific journals with a good ranking.
For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests,transcript, and the names of three referees who have agreed to provide a letter, all in PDF format. The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children.
