2 PhD Positions in Junior Research Group "Neurocognition of temporal
attention", Biomagnetic Center Jena, Germany
Two three-year PhD positions (salary TV-L 13, 50%) are available in
the Junior Research Group "Neurocognition of temporal attention",
headed by Dr. Cornelia Kranczioch. The first post will focus on
studying the influence of cognitive states on temporal attention, the
second post will study the role of alpha activity on perceptual
performance and visual temporal attention. Candidates will have a
Diplom or Master's degree in psychology, biology, neurosciences or a
related discipline. Candidates should have a strong interest in
experimental and cognitive neuroscience and expertise in EEG or MEG
recordings. Fluent English is highly desirable. Some background in
programming and/or biosignal processing is desirable but not

The Junior Research Group is affiliated with the Biomagnetic Center
Jena. Biomagnetism has a long-standing tradition in Jena and the
center consists of a young, interdisciplinary and international
research team and a new head of department (Prof. S. Debener). The
Biomag Center comprises several labs, including a new 306/128-channel
whole-head MEG/EEG system (Neuromag). Areas of research are
multisensory processing, somatosensory and pain research, cortical
re-organization after cochlear implantation, neurocognition of
temporal attention, and EEG-fMRI integration.
