Openings

The Neuropsychology Section, University of Tuebingen, has openings for students striving for a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology as well as openings for postdocs interested in spatial cognition, object recognition, sensorimotor integration and neuropsychological disturbances.

The Section Neuropsychology focusses on the investigation of spatial cognition and object recognition in humans. The current issues of our work comprise the perception of body orientation, spatial attention and exploration, and visuomotor coordination in grasping and pointing movements. We investigate patients with brain lesions as well as healthy subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and eye- and hand movement recordings. A PhD student can acquire a PhD degree in "Neuroscience" in an interdisciplinary graduate program. The postdoc candidates should have experience with fMRI and/or TMS. Starting date should be as soon as possible.
