The Chair of Cognitive neurobiology at the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology is looking for a
**PhD student (m,f,x), for 3 years, 26,6861 hours per week, TVL E13**:
The Department of Cognitive Neurobiology of Caspar Schwiedrzik at Ruhr-University Bochum is looking for an outstanding PhD student interested in studying the neural basis of mental flexibility. The project investigates neural mechanisms of high-dimensional visual category learning, utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in combination with computational modelling and behavioral testing in humans. It is funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant (Acronym DimLearn; “Flexible Dimensionality of Representational Spaces in Category Learning”). The PhD student’s project will focus on developing new category learning paradigms to investigate the neural basis of flexible multi-task learning in humans using fMRI. In addition, the PhD student will cooperate with other lab members on parallel computational investigations using artificial neural networks as well as comparative research exploring the same questions in non-human primates.
**extent**:
- part-time
**duration**:
- temporary**beginning**:
- as soon as possible
11.11.2024**Your tasks**:
- Development, design and implementation of behavioral experiments to study flexibility of visual category learning in human
- Development, design and implementation of fMRI experiments to study the neural basis of visual category learning in humans
- Data analyses of behavioral and fMRI data including statistical analyses and visualization
- Presentation and publication of results through conference contributions and per-reviewed scientific publications
- Cooperation with other team members working on DimLearn
**Your profile**:
- A degree (master, diploma or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, biology)
- prior experience in fMRI and/or behavioral methods
- strong quantitative and/or experimental skills
- programming skills in a pertinent programming language (Matlab, Python, etc.)
- a passion for understanding the neural basis of visual perception and its plasticity
- fluency in spoken and written English (a good command of English is a requirement, but fluency in German is not essential. The working language in the group is English)
**Our offerings**:
- Challenging and varied tasks with a high degree of personal responsibility
- Support from and cooperation with competent colleagues
- a dynamic environment
- Fair and flexible working hours
- Family-friendly working
**Additional information**:
If the position is funded by third-party funds the employee has no teaching obligation.
German language courses are offered by the University Language Center (ZfA) in the field of German as a Foreign Language (DaF).
