[Koglist] Fw: Post-doc and pre-doc on visual object recognition -fMRI, Coimbra univ

by Agnes-Melinda Kovacs

FYI ________________________________ From: Jorge Almeida <jorgecbalmeida(a)gmail.com> Sent: Friday, August 24, 2018 8:27 PM To: Jorge Almeida Subject: Question about potential Post-doc and pre-doc candidates Dear Colleague, Apologies for the cross-posting and mass email. My name is Jorge Almeida and I am an assistant professor at the Faculty of Psychology, University of Coimbra. I am writing to you because I would like to ask you if you know of anyone in your lab, or affiliated labs, that may be interested in starting: 1) a post-doc in Portugal with me on a fMRI visual object recognition project. 2) a research assistantship on the same project. Below is the information I am passing around for both positions. If you could pass this info to researchers that you think may be interested I would appreciate! I am very sorry to be bothering you, Jorge Almeida Proaction lab<http://gaius.fpce.uc.pt/pessoais/jorgealmeida/proaction_home.html> Posting for Post-Doc Positions: 2 fMRI Post-Doc (very competitive salary) 5 year positions available under an ERC Starting Grant on the organization of object knowledge Apologies for cross-posting. The Proaction Laboratory (Perception and Recognition of Objects and Actions; http://gaius.fpce.uc.pt/pessoais/jorgealmeida/proaction_home.html; Jorge Almeida’s Lab) at the University of Coimbra (www.uc.pt<http://www.uc.pt>), Portugal is looking for motivated and bright Post-doctoral researchers to work on an ERC Starting Grant project (ContentMAP) on the neural organization of object knowledge. In this project we will explore how complex information is topographically organized in the brain using fMRI and state of the art analytical techniques, as well as computational approaches, and neuromodulation. Excellent understanding of and experience with fMRI and data analysis is required. Strong programming skills (matlab, python, etc.) are also a requirement. Experience with data analysis techniques used in vision and object recognition (e.g., Representational Similarity Analysis, MVPA, Machine Learning, population Receptive Fields/phase lag analysis), as well as computational approaches to cognitive neuroscience (e.g., SOM) are a plus. Very good English (oral and written) communicative skills are necessary. The positions are for a maximum of 5 years, and will start in February 2019. The positions involves no formal teaching (unless the candidate wants to). They do involve, however, lab mentoring. The salary is extremely competitive – between 2200 and 2400 euros per month (dependent on experience), tax free (annual 26400-28800 euros tax free). This value is on par with the average salaries at top American institutions, as well as London, Paris, etc. However, the cost of living in Portugal (and particularly in Coimbra) is much lower. According to Numbeo, 2400 euros would be equivalent to 4850 pounds in London/4800 euros in Paris/6615 USD in Boston/6210 USD in Los Angeles/ 8330 USD in New York). The researcher will work directly with Jorge Almeida in Coimbra, but the laboratory has extensive collaborations with researchers throughout the world. In fact, there may be the option of spending some time in another lab as part of the position. The researcher will also be encouraged to develop her/his own projects and look for additional funding so that the stay can be extended. We have access to a 3T MRI scanner with a 32-channel coil (with EEG inside the scanner), to tDCS with neuronavigation, and to a fully set psychophysics lab. We have EEG and eyetracking on site. We also have access, through other collaborations, to a 7T scanner. Finally, the University of Coimbra is a 700 year old University and has been selected as a UNESCO world Heritage site. Coimbra is one of the most lively university cities in the world, and it is a beautiful city with easy access to the beach and mountain. The deadline for the application is November 20, but you should apply as soon as you can, as we may fill in the positions sooner than the deadline if there are candidates with a superb fit with the requirements and project. The interested candidates should email Jorge Almeida for questions and applications. Please send an email with the subject “Post-doc position under ERC - ContentMAP” with your curriculum vitae, list of publications, 2 reference letters, and a short description of your experience in the field and how you fulfill the requirements (fit with the position) to: jorgealmeida(a)fpce.uc.pt<mailto:jorgealmeida@fpce.uc.pt>.
