PhD student for Body Image & Media, Nijmegen, (Gelderland), 32 hours per week Radboud University Nijmegen

Job Description
As a PhD student you will be investigating neurocognitive mechanisms. Visual appearance is an increasingly important factor in the distress experienced by many individuals around the world who fail to meet the beauty standard and body image they have set for themselves. An important factor in this increasing striving for beauty and slimness is the continuous presentation of models with unrealistic, retouched or “photoshopped” features, which represent an unattainable goal for most individuals. The current project is aimed at understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms through which beauty ideals shape the appraisal of our own bodies and those of others, and why some individuals develop body image disturbances while others remain unaffected. Effects of media on body image will be investigated for old and new virtual media (e.g., looking at effects of real and computer generated models), using a variety of experimental techniques (eye-tracking, ERPs, behaviour, fRMI). The PhD student will participate in the graduate program of the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI), present and publish findings at international conferences and peer reviewed quality journals, and combine scientific findings in a doctoral thesis.

Eligibility of U.S. Institutions
Institutions with few or no programs/courses related to Islam or the Muslim world are encouraged to apply. Institutions that have well-established Islam-related or area studies programs should clearly indicate that their proposed program for the Fulbright Visiting Specialists Program is in a field/subject that is not currently supported at the institution. Community colleges and minority-serving institutions, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities, are encouraged to apply and will receive preference for an award. Visit http://www.cies.org/Visiting_Specialists/us_institutions.htm to view the diverse representation of previous U.S. host institutions. Institutions that have already hosted a Fulbright Visiting Specialist are no longer eligible. While more than one application may be submitted by the same institution, only one award to the same institution will be offered.

Fulbright Visiting Specialists usually hold Ph.D.s or terminal degrees and have extensive university teaching experience. They are not necessarily Muslim by religion, but they possess expert knowledge on Islamic faith, culture, society, and/or geographic areas with significant Muslim representation. Persons holding U.S. citizenship or permanent residency in the U.S. are not eligible. Persons who have received Fulbright Visiting Scholar awards (post-doctorate awards) should consult the Fulbright local offices for their eligibility. At the time of program participation, the Fulbright Visiting Specialist should be a resident of his/her home country. Logistical challenges should be expected if an individual from Afghanistan or Iraq is requested.
