[Eeglablist] JOB ALERT: 2 postdoc positions - naturalistic predictive processing & MEG

[Ingmar de Vries]

Dear all,


   1. I am looking for 2 postdocs in my lab @DIPseN (formerly CIMeC),
   University of Trento, in Italy, as part of an Italian FIS3 starting grant.
   TOPIC: Investigating predictive neural representations in naturalistic
   settings using MEG-based dynamic RSA The candidate will join an experienced
   and collaborative double-lab team (led by 2 PIs with FIS grants) with
   strong expertise in predictive processing in naturalistic dynamic input
   using M/EEG. We hold weekly lab meetings, biweekly journal clubs and
   biweekly M/EEG user meetings. Besides this vibrant research environment,
   Trentino is an area filled with natural beauty with lots of outdoor
   activities such as hiking, climbing, swimming in lakes and skiing.
   Additionally, you are only a train ride away from cultural cities such as
   Verona, Venice, Milano or Bologna. Requirements: - PhD, ideally in cog
   neurosci (or related field) with experience in predictive processing or
   related fields (e.g., attention)
   2. - Neuroimaging experience (M/EEG or fMRI, MVPA/RSA) - Strong
   programming skills (e.g., Matlab or Python) - Very good English skills, a
   high level of motivation, reliability, independence, and enthusiasm to work
   in a team.
