Postdoc position in the Obleser lab, in the ERC-funded project “Audadapt” — deadline for applications very soon! (Nov 30 2017). Check out all applications details here!
Category: Job Offers
From autumn on, or at the earliest convenience, we are looking for a new postdoc for the (still fairly new) Obleser lab in Lübeck. Please see the job advert here. Deadline for applications is July 6.
From this particular postholder we hope for some support in our Methods teaching as well, therefore a decent command of German will be required.
The research group “Auditory Cognition” (headed by Prof. Dr. Jonas Obleser; auditorycognition.com) in the Department of Psychology, University of Lübeck, is seeking to hire two
Postdoctoral Researchers
starting by January 2016, initially for 3 years, with the option of extension. These positions will fall into the larger framework of an ERC Consolidator grant “The listening challenge: How ageing brains adapt” (AUDADAPT) recently awarded to Jonas Obleser, and will allow the joint development of cognitive-neuroscience and psychological research projects targeting adaptive control in the auditory modality of middle-aged adults.

[About the ERC project: The auditory sensory modality poses an excellent, although under-utilised, research model to understand the cognitive adjustments to sensory change (here termed “adaptive control”), their neural basis, and their large variation amongst individuals. Hearing abilities begin to decline already in the fourth life decade, and our guiding hypothesis is that individuals differ in the extent to which they are neurally, cognitively, and psychologically equipped to adapt to this sensory decline.]
We are looking for creative minds with a PhD degree and a promising track record in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, physics, or engineering. A strong background and interest in research methods is desirable. Prior experience with either human neuroscience methods (especially advanced EEG and/or fMRI analyses) or modeling of rich data sets (e.g., latent growth modeling, structural equation modeling) is expected.
The University of Lübeck is a modern university specializing in Medicine, Computer Science, Molecular Biology, Biomathematics and Medical Engineering. Internationally renowned research and high standards of academic tutoring characterize the profile of the university. A new dedicated research building (Centre for Brain, Behaviour, and Metabolism; CBBM) housing also the Obleser lab will open in late 2015.
Payment will follow salary group E13 TV‑L (full time), if conditions based on German Public service regulations are satisfied.
These positions will be announced officially later in autumn 2015, but interested candidates should be in touch now with Jonas Obleser, jonas.obleser@uni-luebeck.de

New job post
Please spread the word:
We are offering a PhD post (alternatively, a half-time Postdoctoral post) in our new Auditory Cognition University of Lübeck branch! (English version here.)
The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI CBS) in Leipzig and the Max Planck Research Group “Auditory Cognition” (headed by Jonas Obleser) are now offering a Postdoctoral researcher position, for initially 2 years, preferably starting by October 2013.
Successful candidates will have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or natural sciences. Prior experience with either fMRI or EEG/MEG methods is expected, and an interest in further applying and combining both domains in their research is highly desirable. Candidates with a background and/or interest in advanced fMRI methods are particularly encouraged to apply.
Spread the news: We are hiring for 2011.
The Max-Planck-Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI–CBS) in Leipzig and its newly established Max Planck Research Group on “Auditory Cognition”, led by Jonas Obleser, are now offering
Postdoc and PhD positions
for up to 3 years, preferably starting by January 2011.
Postdoc applicants: Successful candidates will have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or natural sciences. Prior experience with either fMRI or EEG/MEG methods is expected, and an interest in further applying and combining both domains in their research is highly desirable. The successful candidate will share our enthusiasm in problems of hearing and listening comprehension, and ideally has already demonstrated this by contributing to the field, although researchers with a background in visual or other neuroscience are of course also encouraged to apply. He or she should have a solid methods background; hands-on experience in problems of data and statistical analysis, and should be willing to co-supervise the PhD and Master students in the group. The position offered does not include any teaching obligations.
PhD applicants: The candidates must have a master degree (or equivalent) in psychology, cognitive sciences, neuroscience, medicine, or a related field. Proficiency in oral and written English is necessary. PhD students will have the opportunity to participate in the curriculum of the International Max-Planck Research School.
Starting date for all positions is flexible. Salary is dependent on experience and based on MPI stipends or equivalent salary according to German Public service regulations.
The research will be conducted at the MPI–CBS in Leipzig, Germany, an internationally leading centre for cognitive and imaging neuroscience equipped with a 7.0 T MRI scanner, three 3.0 T MRI scanners, a 306 channels MEG system, a TMS system and several EEG suites. All facilities are supported by experienced IT and physics staff. Our institute (just 190 km, or 70 minutes by train, south of Berlin) offers a very international environment, with English being the language spoken in the laboratory. It offers a friendly and generous environment of researchers with diverse backgrounds and with an excellent infrastructure.
In order to increase the proportion of female staff members, applications from female scientists are particularly encouraged. Preference will be given to disabled persons with the same qualification.
Applications should be kindly sent to personal [at] cbs.mpg.de using the code “PD 2÷2010” for Postdoc or ”D5/2010” for PhD applications in the subject. Please send your email below as a single, appropriately named pdf attachment and should enclose a cover letter (max. 2 pages) that also specifies your future research interests; a CV; up to three representative reprints; and contact details of 2 personal references. This call remains open until the positions are filled.
