Germany: PhD Experimental Psychology-Ghent 2009/2010

Three four-year positions are available for students who want to
pursue a PhD degree in the Department of Experimental Psychology at
Ghent University (see expsy.ugent.be).
The Department consists of a young and multidisciplinary research group.

The broad topic is cognitive control; we are particularly interested
in how cognitive control can be flexibly recruited to current task
demands, and the relation between emotion and cognitive control.

The research will be supervised by Wim Notebaert or Tom Verguts. The
methodology that will be focused is dependent on the student’s
interests; possibilities include neuroimaging (fMRI), EEG (ERP),
computational modeling, and behavioral (e.g.,
clinical-neuropsychological) measures.
Salary is according to standard Belgian regulations. The starting date
is flexible, ranging from January to December 2009. For more
information, please contact Wim Notebaert (Wim.Notebaert@ugent.be) or
Tom Verguts (Tom.Verguts@ugent.be).
