The Max Planck Institute for Psychological Research in Munich, Germany, invites
applications for
PhD and Postdoctoral positions
in the research group "Sensorimotor Coordination".
Program description:
The recently created Sensorimotor Coordination research group at the
Max-Planck Institute for Psychological Research in Munich is seeking to
recruit a PhD student and a postdoctoral fellow. The main goal of the
Sensorimotor Coordination group is to study how the coordination of
multi-degree of freedom systems are mastered from the interplay between the
perceptual and motor systems in humans. The empirical studies will focus on
orofacial and hand/finger movements.
A series of empirical and modeling studies will be carried on at the
Sensorimotor Group, and we welcome candidates interested in one of the
following research areas: estimation of biomechanical properties of human
articulators (jaw and hand/finger coordination), neurophysiological
modeling of the jaw and the arm movement, self-other judgment in lip
reading (in collaboration with the Cognition & Action Unit at the MPIPF),
and jaw and development of jaw/lips/tongue coordination in babbling infants
(in collaboration with the research group Infant Cognition and Action at
the MPIPF).
The Sensorimotor Coordination laboratory equipment will include: an
Optotrak 3020 system, two Phantom robots 1.0, force transducers, and EMG
amplifiers.
Qualifications:
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the studies that will be undergone
in the Sensorimotor Coordination group, we will consider applications from
candidates having background in different domains: experimental psychology,
physics, neurophysiological modeling, and computer science.
Duration:
The Sensorimotor Coordination group will be funded by the Max-Planck
Society until August 2006. The postdoctoral position will be granted for an
initial period of two years, with a possibility of later extension. The
doctoral scholarship will follow the rules established by the Max-Planck
Society (at least three years of duration).
The Max Planck Institute is an equal-opportunity employer and especially
encourages women to apply. Applications from handicapped persons will be
favored when all other qualifications are equal.
