The Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory of Prof. Stefan Treue and the Sensorimotor Group of Dr. Alexander Gail at the German Primate Center (DPZ) in Göttingen, Germany, invite applications for Postdoc positions.

Research in our laboratories focuses on the neural basis of visual attention, visual motion perception, sensorimotor processing, and neuroprosthetics. We focus on extracellular recordings from primate cortex and human psychophysics, but also use functional imaging and computational neural modeling (www.dpz.eu/cnl and www.dpz.eu/smg).

As part of the Center for System Neuroscience (CSN) and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) we offer a stimulating, multi-disciplinary research environment with a strong background in both, experimental and computational neuroscience.

Postdoc applicants should have relevant experience in system neuroscience research.

Applications should include a cover letter, short CV, list of publications, university certificates, and names (incl. contact info) of 2-3 possible references. Please send your application to application-cnl@dpz.eu (preferably as PDF document).

The Network Dynamics Group at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self- Organization (MPIDS) Göttingen, Germany, invites applications for a

Postdoctoral Researcher

in the field of Nonlinear Dynamics of Networks.

Research in the Network Dynamics Group focuses on the cooperative dynamics of large networks of interacting units in physics and biology. Major fields include mathematical neuroscience, the theory of complex disordered systems in statistical physics, and the design and evolution of natural and artificial systems.

The ideal candidate has excellent skills in advanced statistical physics and in nonlinear dynamics theory, works independently, and has some experience in supervising research projects that are of cross-disciplinary character at the border to theoretical physics or applied mathematics.

The candidate's research will be supported by a grant of the Max Planck Society that was provided to establish the Max Planck Research Group Network Dynamics at the MPIDS in Göttingen. The group is closely linked to the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) Göttingen, the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) Physics of Biological and Complex Systems and the Institute for Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Göttingen.

Please submit your application, preferably in one single PDF-document, including a cover letter, a Curriculum Vitae, concise statements of previous achievements, current, and planned research, a list of publications, relevant certificates, and names of at least three possible referees via email networks@nld.ds.mpg.de (subject: PostDoc NLD of Networks) to Marc Timme (Head of the Network Dynamics Group), Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Bunsenstr.10, 37073 Göttingen, Germany. See: http://www.nld.ds.mpg.de/~timme/

Please submit your application until April 20, 2009 for full consideration.
