Post-doc on Meditation and the Predictive Brain
3 dagen geleden
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will be working on a project investigating the effects of meditation on predictive processing in the brain. The project aims to determine the plasticity of the predictive mind using meditation and will involve designing and implementing new experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting on the findings in local meetings and international conferences.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or a related field, with a focus on predictive processing and meditation. They will have excellent programming skills in Python, Matlab, or equivalent, and experience with EEG or fMRI. The candidate will also have excellent verbal and written English language skills and be a team player with good communicative abilities.
The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is a world-leading research university with a strong focus on cognitive psychology and neuroscience. The university offers a dynamic and international work environment, with a diverse range of research groups and collaborations. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a team of experienced researchers and contribute to the development of new knowledge in the field of predictive processing and meditation.
About the TeamThe ERC project is led by Prof Heleen Slagter and is part of the Cognitive Psychology group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The group is world-leading in its work on perception, attention, working memory, consciousness, and learning in the visual domain. Other scientific staff members include Prof Jan Theeuwes, Prof Chris Olivers, Dr Mieke Donk, Dr Freek van Ede, Dr Sander Los, Dr Tomas Knapen, Dr Joshua Snell, Dr Johannes Fahrenfort, and Dr Mattias Nau. The research group has expertise in psychophysics, eye tracking, VR, EEG, and fMRI, and has extensive corresponding lab facilities. The group values quality research, personal development, and social cohesion within an international atmosphere.
About the FacultyThe Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences at VU Amsterdam is a multidisciplinary faculty that combines three academic disciplines: psychology, movement sciences, and education. The faculty is dedicated to developing knowledge for an active, healthy, and meaningful life. The faculty's research focuses on current developments in society, including healthy aging, e-health, and social media as a teaching tool. The faculty has a strong focus on internationalization and diversity, and offers a dynamic and inclusive work environment.
