Job Title: Junior researcher / Postdoc scientist – full time (1.0)

About Us: We are a dynamic research team dedicated to advancing our understanding of the brain dynamics associated with normal and pathological visual perception. Our work combines EEG, ERP, TMS, and tES techniques with a multidisciplinary approach to unravel the complexities of human visual processing. We focus on visual motion processing and temporal properties of visual perception in combination with perceptual learning and habituation. Results we apply for diagnostic biomarkers in neurological, neuro- ophthalmological, and neuropsychiatric diseases. In neuro-ophthalmology, we investigate the effectiveness of implants for improving low vision and the possibility of using neuromodulation techniques to facilitate neurorehabilitation.

Job Description: We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Scientist to join our team and contribute to a broader topic Brain dynamic of normal and pathological perception. The successful candidate will play a key role in selected tasks focusing on predictive coding in visual processing, simulation of visual disturbances, and investigating visual perception under pathological conditions.
