> The position is for a maximum of 5 years, and will start in February 2019.
> The position involves no formal teaching (unless the candidate wants to).
> It does involve, however, lab mentoring.

> The salary is extremely competitive ? between 2200 and 2400 euros per month

> We have access to a 3T MRI scanner with a 32-channel coil (with EEG inside
