The research group Mechanisms and Sequential Progression of Plasticity at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to examine the malleability of cognitive control in childhood and adolescence, with a focus on how individual differences in brain structure and function are related to learning. The initial appointment is for two years, starting in October 2017 (a later start date is negotiable), with the possibility of an extension by one year.
The successful candidate will plan and conduct experimental studies, conduct behavioral and brain imaging analyses, write and revise manuscripts, and present results at local and international conferences. Applicants need to hold (or expect to hold by September 2017) a Ph.D. in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or related fields. Preferred qualifications include experience with (f)MRI, programming skills, and strong knowledge of statistics. Existing expertise in the field of cognitive training and a strong publication record are an advantage. The Plasticity group (https://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/en/research/lifespan-psychology/projects/mechanisms-and-sequential-progression-of-plasticity) investigates how plasticity at the neural and cognitive levels contributes to development across the lifespan, with a focus on training studies targeting specific skills and their supporting neural networks. We have access to a 3T MR scanner, TMS, state-of-the-art EEG labs, and an eye tracker. No German language is required for this position.
