The research is conducted at the MR-Research Center which is a laboratory equipped with two 1.5 T MR scanners. In addition the lab has widespread expertise in neuroimaging methods including DTI and EEG. The MR-Research Center is the neuroimaging core facility for the newly established Stockholm Brain Institute for cognitive and computational neuroscience (http://www.stockholmbrain.se).

The candidate is expected to be a talented, innovative and enthusiastic researcher with a Ph.D awarded within the last five years in Cognitive Neuroscience or related disciplines to work on fMRI projects on body image, multisensory processing, or self-awareness.

The ideal candidate will have expertise in the acquisition and analysis of fMRI data and good programming skills. The candidate is also expected to work within the general framework of the project, but will be encouraged to actively contribute with own ideas and proposals. Applicants with no imaging experience but with a strong background in behavioral neuroscience in the relevant areas are also encouraged to apply.

Karolinska Institutet aims to promote equal opportunities by encouraging a balanced gender distribution. We also value the qualities that ethnic and cultural diversity can contribute to the university.
