The research group for Neurobiopsychology (Prof. Dr. Peter König http://www.cogsci.uni-osnabrueck.de/~NBP/) has two vacancies for positions of a PHd student. (Scholarships are for a maximum of three years, to start at November 1st, 2008. ) The positions involve research within the Research Training Group Adaptivity in Hybrid Cognitive Systems (http://www.cogsci.uos.de/PhD/GK) in the area of processing of visual, auditory and tactile information and sensorimotor integration under natural conditions and includes the statistical analysis of natural stimuli, simulation of multimodal sensory systems, integration of experimental data on the neuronal activity with visual and auditory stimulation and the implementation on autonomous systems. Furthermore, the position involves participation in teaching Cognitive Science courses with an emphasis on Neurobiopsychology. The position offers the possibility of further academic qualification.
