[CogSci] Job posts at the Cognitive Science Center at Jagiellonian University

[Marcin]

*Postdoc and PhD Student Positions to Study Cognition in Naturalistic
Settings*
*Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland*

*Job Description:*
The Brain and Cognition Lab at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland,
is excited to announce several upcoming job openings at different levels
(postdoc and PhD) to work on the psychophysics and electrophysiology of
cognition. These positions are funded by the National Science Center,
Poland. We are seeking highly motivated candidates eager to investigate
cognition using eye tracking, virtual reality (VR), electrophysiology,
psychophysics, and advanced signal processing tools. *Interested applicants
should contact Marcin Leszczyński (marcin.leszczynski at uj.edu.pl) to discuss
possibilities*.

*Lab Description:*
Successful candidates will join a dynamic research group at the Cognitive
Science Center at Jagiellonian University, located in the heart of the
beautiful city of Kraków. Our lab uses a variety of technologies, including
scalp and intracranial electrophysiology, eye-tracking, VR, and
psychophysics, combined with advanced signal processing and machine
learning, to study neural mechanisms of cognition in health and disease. We
are interested in questions including neural mechanisms of perception,
memory, mind wandering. We study why our minds wander. How sensory systems
interact in naturally uncertain environments. We explore limits of
attention capacity. To do so, we combine experiments in natural settings
(VR, watching movies) with controlled laboratory experiments and
psychophysics. We use advanced analytical tools including machine learning,
signal processing and more. We offer a vibrant international research
environment, with English as the working language (no need to speak Polish).

We encourage interested candidates to get in touch to discuss the
opportunities available. The department provides excellent infrastructure,
including supporting staff and state-of-the-art equipment for conducting
experiments (e.g., behavioral laboratories, EEG, fMRI, TMS, eye-tracking,
and VR setups). Additionally, motivated candidates will have the chance to
participate in numerous collaborative projects with partners at Columbia
University in New York City, Nathan Kline Institute, and University
Hospital in Bonn.

*Requirements:*
*Postdoc Applicants:*

   - Must hold, or expect to hold, a doctorate in Psychology, Neuroscience,
   Computer Science, or related disciplines.
   - Ideal candidates will have experience designing, performing,
   analyzing, and disseminating psychophysics studies or experimental studies
   using eye tracking, VR, EEG, MEG, or LFPs.
   - Motivated candidates with other relevant experience are also
   encouraged to apply.

*PhD Applicants:*

   - Should have previous programming experience and a research interest in
   neuroscience, perception, attention, memory, eye movements, sensory-motor,
   or multi-sensory interactions.
   - Previous experience in analyzing psychophysiological signals is an
   asset.
   - Ability to work independently and proficiency in English are essential
   (no need to speak Polish).

For further inquiries about the positions, please contact Marcin
Leszczyński at marcin.leszczynski at uj.edu.pl.

*Application Process:*
Interested candidates should send the following to Marcin Leszczyński (
*marcin.leszczynski at uj.edu.pl*):

   - A cover letter describing research interests and motivation to join
   our lab (max. 2 pages).
   - Curriculum vitae.
   - Contact information for two references.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are
filled.
