Job Description
The Hertz Chair for Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience at University of Bonn is looking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow or PhD student to undertake high quality research and produce high-impact publications in a collaborative research project investigating human escape using wearable magnetoencephalography with optically pumped magnometers (OPM). The goal of the advertised position is to understand the neural control of human escape decisions in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment using an OPM-compatible HMD, in collaboration with the Wellcome Platform for Naturalistic Neuroimaging, which is part of the FIL at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, London, UK. The role includes conceptual design of naturalistic VR scenarios that allow MEG recordings, planning, conducting, and analysing MEG experiments, building robust pipelines for MEG analysis in naturalistic settings, and publication of research and development results.
