1. Specification of the Position: 
Post Doc position in the Third Party funded Project Intelligent Coaching Space „ICSPACE"

2. Faculty/Department: 
Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology - CITEC

3. Job Description (outline) and Portion of Work Time in %: 
The post doc position is part of the ICSPACE project (http://graphics.unibielefeld.
de/research/icspace/). In this interdisciplinary project we explore how humans can be
supported in learning and practicing movement tasks, as needed in sports training, motor skill
learning, or physical rehabilitation. We develop a Virtual-Reality-based training environment that
provides adaptive and personalized tutoring in an online, closed-loop interaction. To this end, the
project combines novel aspects of motion analysis, neuro-cognitive skill diagnosis, multi-sensory
feedback, communication through a virtual coach, and long-term coaching strategies.

The position under consideration (work package “Feedback”) will focus on the link between human
perception and action. The successful post-doc candidate will collaborate with other team members
to investigate multi-sensory feedback through an augmented virtual mirror, and to analyze the
influence of latency and appearance/realism for sensorimotor learning in virtual reality.

4. Job Profile: 
The successful post-doc candidate is expected to have:
	• PhD in Neuroscience or a related scientific field,
	• a background in a field related to cognitive neuroscience,
	• wide experience of empirical human studies on multi-sensory perception and sensorimotor learning
	• very good writing skills and a convincing publication record.

In addition, some experience in human-computer-interaction or interactive virtual environments will
be helpful for this position.
