We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoc for a 2-year position at the Dept. of Experimental Psychology, Ghent University (Belgium). The position will be in the field of cognitive neuroscience in the context of an ERC starting grant investigating interactions between motivation, cognitive control, and memory processes. The candidate will mainly be involved in fMRI experiments, but extensions to EEG and TMS are possible. Candidates are expected to have a PhD in the field of psychology or cognitive neuroscience at the time of the starting date. Individuals with prior training in fMRI acquisition and analysis, as well as reward processing and/or cognitive control would be excellent for this position. Good programming and data analysis skills, or an eagerness to learn, are essential. Familiarity with multi-variate pattern and connectivity analyses would be an asset.

Our department hosts several research groups in the realm of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, creating a dynamic research environment including regular internal talk series as well as presentations by invited speakers. We have access to a research-dedicated 3-tesla MR scanner (Siemens Prisma), multiple EEG systems, TMS, and eye-tracking devices.

The preferred starting date for this position is October 1st 2018.
