Applications are invited for one PhD student in the Group of Attention, Action and Perception (http://www.pcb.ub.es/homepcb/live/en/p2153.asp ) at the Parc CientÃfic of University of Barcelona (Spain).
The post is part of BRAINGLOT (http://www.pcb.ub.es/brainglot/), a Spanish Research Network on Cognitive Neuroscience (Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Scheme, Spain Ministry of Science and Education). The project is conceived with an open and multidisciplinary vocation, as one of its major anchor points places the stress on the mutual influence (both in terms of cognitive and neural processes) between perception, multisensory integration, and the executive control attention.
This is an excellent opportunity for professional growth for those interested in the fields of psychology, neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines including computer science.
The position is available for candidates interested in conducting psychophysical studies on multisensory integration. Complementary to those, the candidate will have the opportunity to participate in research projects adopting other methodologies, such as human electrophysiology, fMRI, eye tracking, or testing neuropsychological patients, among others.
We are seeking highly motivated applicants with an interest in the Cognitive Neurosciences and who have (or are close to have) a degree in Psychology, Life Sciences, or related fields. Essential to the post are good communication and writing skills (in English). Some laboratory experience with psychophysics / experimental psychology, as well as computer programming skills, will be valued. Only applicants from the European Union will be considered.
The position is funded for 4 years, beginning as soon as possible. Approx. salary is 15,000 Eur/year (before taxes).
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
