Postdoc Description
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Dr. Taosheng Liu's lab at Michigan State University. We are seeking highly qualified individuals to collaborate on projects investigating the neural mechanisms of attentional control, both in terms of the neuroanatomic basis of the control signal and how attention modulates perceptual representations. The main experimental approach includes visual psychophysics, fMRI, and computational modeling. The candidate should have a recent Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science) and shared interests in the core research area. A research background in perception and attention is ideal. Proficiency in programming is necessary (e.g., Matlab, Python, C/C++), and computing experience on the GNU/Linux platform is useful. Experience with fMRI is highly desirable but not required (experience with other techniques such as EEG/ERP, TMS, is also welcome). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to initiate new projects.

The position is available immediately, with a preferred starting date before September 1, 2013. The initial appointment is one year with the opportunity of renewal for additional years. Review of candidates will start May 15, 2013 and will continue until the position is filled. Informal inquiry is also welcome. Application should include a CV, a brief statement of research interests, the expected date of availability, and the names and contact of three referees.
