The Bernhardt-Walther lab at The Ohio State University Department of Psychology is looking for a talented postdoctoral researcher. Our research focuses on the perception of complex scenes, objects, and visual attention. We use neuroimaging (EEG and fMRI), psychophysics, eye tracking, and computational modeling. The successful candidate will have access to our newly built lab with test rooms and an Eyelink 1000 eye tracker, a brand new Siemens Trio MRI scanner at the Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging as well as an EEG lab at the Center for Cognitive Science. OSU offers an exciting research environment with a strong focus on computational and mathematical modeling within psychology as well as interdisciplinary interactions with colleagues in electrical engineering, computer science, and the neuroscience program at OSU.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field as well as a strong research record. Advanced mathematical skills and programming experience (Matlab, Python) as well as prior experience with neuroimaging (fMRI and/or EEG) are a big plus. Interested individuals should send an electronic copy of their curriculum vitae, three representative samples of published or unpublished work, a statement of interest, and the names of two letter writers to Professor Dirk Bernhardt-Walther (bernhardt-walther.1 [ à ] osu.edu). Review of applications will begin in November, and the position can begin as early as January 2012, but a later start date can be arranged.
