Postdoc position in Cognitive Neuroscience at Leiden University

Postdoc position in Cognitive Neuroscience at Leiden University - Research project "The role of noradrenergic arousal in reward-based learning and decision-making" In this postdoc project, we will examine the role of the noradrenergic brainstem arousal system in reward-based learning and decision-making. 

Recent theoretical and empirical work on reward-based decision-making in volatile environments has suggested that behavioral variability does not only reflect random variability during the choice process (i.e., exploration) but also random variability during the updating (learning) of action values. The goal of the proposed project is to examine the degree to which these two (often adaptive) sources of variability in human decision-making are regulated by the activity of the noradrenergic system. 

We will use a recently developed computational (reinforcement-learning) model to decompose human behavior into distinct learning and choice processes.. We will test how a pharmacological manipulation of the noradrenergic system alters random choice and learning variability, pupil-linked arousal, and neural (EEG/fMRI) activity in decision-making areas of the brain. We will also examine the link between inter-individual differences in locus coeruleus integrity (using structural MRI) and sources of behavioral variability.

Post-Doctoral Position, Uni Oldenburg: analysis of speech coding in the human brain

The Department of Applied Neurocognitive Psychology at Oldenburg University, Germany, offers a Post-doctoral position (salary level E13 TVL, 3 years) with a focus on signal processing / statistical learning for analysis of speech coding in the human brain. The position is linked to the collaborative research center "The Active Auditory System" SFB-TR 31. 

The research center aims to characterize and model mechanism of auditory object formation and scene analysis by combining psychophysical, neurophysiological, and quantitative modelling. It complements the Excellence Cluster "Hearing 4 All" which was recently awarded to the University of Oldenburg. 

The combined effort of these centers will establish a strong link between neurophysiological models of auditory object representation and subjective perception. The post-doctoral position is situated in a project that applies statistical learning methods to human intracranial recordings (ECoG) and fMRI to derive and test quantitative statistical models of speech coding in the human brain.

The experiments are performed in a highly interdisciplinary lab environment and in close collaboration with the University of California Berkeley and Stanford University. The quantitative nature of the research project will require highly motivated candidates with strong quantitative and experimental skills.
