PhD positions in Helsinki University of Technology
Our newly established multidisciplinary “aivoAALTO” (brainWAVE) research project opens positions in the field of systems-level human brain imaging and related research, with a strong focus on social interaction in natural settings, including economic decision making, cinema viewing, and methodological development. http://www.aaltoyliopisto.info/en/news/funding-to-aalto-university-s-aivoaalto-research-project
The project involves Helsinki University of Technology (TKK, www.tkk.fi ), Helsinki School of Economics (HSE, www.hse.fi ) and Helsinki University of Art and Design (TAIK, www.taik.fi ). These three schools are just merging to form a new Aalto University (“Aalto”, meaning wave, honors the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto).

1 PhD student in neuroeconomics and decision making
1 PhD student in neurocinematics
1 PhD student in brain-imaging-related signal analysis

For PhD student positions, scientists with variable backgrounds are welcome; most important criteria are a good track record and high motivation.
