PhD Candidate: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience – Decision Confidence

4 maanden geleden


Nijmegen, Gelderland, Nederland Radboud Universiteit Voltijd

Are you fascinated by the brain mechanisms behind perceptual decision making, sensory uncertainty, and decision confidence? Do you want to understand how we actively gather information across the senses to navigate an uncertain world? Join our multidisciplinary team as a PhD candidate to investigate these questions

Almost every decision we make is accompanied by a feeling of confidence – a subjective assessment of how likely we are to be correct. This feeling of confidence allows us to evaluate our decisions and adjust our actions accordingly. Imagine you are about to cross a busy street. You rely on your sight and hearing to gauge if an oncoming truck will stop in time. But what factors influence your confidence in that judgment, and how does that confidence shape your next actions? This PhD project seeks to unravel the computations and neural mechanisms of these complex processes.

As a PhD candidate, you will also have the opportunity to develop valuable skills by mentoring students, participating in international conferences, and collaborating with leading researchers in the field. We offer access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources, and a supportive environment for your academic and professional development. Your teaching load may be up to 5% of your working time.

Profile
  • You have an MSc or BSc degree in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, computer science, physics, engineering, or a related field with a strong quantitative background.
  • You are enthusiastic about research and excel academically.
  • You have excellent data analysis and statistics skills and are proficient in relevant programming languages and software.
  • Prior experience with psychophysics, fMRI, MEG/EEG or computational modelling (e.g. Bayesian, neural network) would be a plus.
  • Prior research in perception, attention, statistical learning or related fields would be advantageous. You are proactive, self-motivated, enjoy working independently and are also a team player who thrives in a collaborative and open lab culture.
  • Because of EU mobility rules, you must not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the Netherlands for more than twelve months in the past three years.

    We are

    The PhD position is based in the Multisensory Perception, Learning and Attention lab, headed by Prof. Uta Noppeney, at the Donders Centres for Cognitive Neuroimaging and Neuroscience. The lab aims to understand how the brain processes and interacts with the multisensory world. Research methods include computational modelling (Bayesian, neural network), psychophysics, and neuroimaging (fMRI, MEG, EEG, TMS).

    The PhD position is part of an international network of nine research labs across Europe. You will receive interdisciplinary training in theories and methods for the study of decision confidence, including many network-wide events and other international training opportunities. The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour is a world-class interfaculty research centre that houses more than 700 researchers devoted to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the human mind. Excellent, state-of-the-art research facilities are available for the broad range of neuroscience research that is being conducted at the Donders Institute. The Cognitive Neuroimaging centre is equipped with four MRI scanners (7T, 3x 3T), a 275-channel MEG system, an EEG-TMS laboratory, several MR-compatible EEG systems and high-performance computational facilities. The Donders Institute fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary, supportive research environment with diverse international staff. English is the lingua franca at the Institute. The Donders Institute is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and as such encourages applications from women and minorities.
