Curriculum Vitae

Martijn Mulder was born on the 18th of April 1974 in Ossendrecht, the Netherlands. In 1992 he graduated from high-school (A-Levels) at het Moller Lyceum in Bergen op Zoom. In the same year, he started his undergraduate program at the University of Utrecht where he studied Medical Biology. As his interest moved more and more towards the human brain he switched to Psychology in 1994. After a small feint towards the business world, he received an MSc from the department of Psychonomics on ‘the theory of cognition and emotion’ in 2003.

 

In 2004, Martijn began work as a research assistant at NICHE, the neuroimaging lab at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of the University Medical Center Utrecht. He began his PhD-project with Sarah Durston and Herman van Engeland in 2005. In 2007, he spent six months at the Sackler Institute of Psychobiology, at the Weill Cornell University Medical Center in New York. Here, he worked on a collaborative project with Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania on perceptual decision-making.

 

In 2010, Martijn will defend this thesis and will begin a position at the Spinoza Center for Neuroimaging at the University of Amsterdam, working as a post-doctoral researcher on the neural correlates of decision making with Birte Forstmann and Eric-Jan Wagenmakers.
