We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research scientist to investigate the relationship between space, time and number processing networks in the human brain using advanced fMRI analysis of ultra-high-field (7T) fMRI. The researcher will be supervised by Dr. Ben Harvey at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Utrecht University, the Netherlands. This is a research position for three years, working on an NWO VIDI grant recently awarded to Dr. Harvey. The starting date is between October 2017 and January 2018. The position involves 1.0 FTE (full-time) research.
The research builds on the following studies:
