Almeida?s Lab) at the University of Coimbra (<a href="http://www.uc.pt" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.uc.pt</a>), Portugal is<br>
looking for a motivated and bright Post-doctoral researcher to work on<br>
an ERC Starting Grant project (ContentMAP) on the neural organization of<br>
object knowledge. In this project we will explore how complex information<br>
is topographically organized in the brain using fMRI and state of the art<br>
analytical techniques, as well as computational approaches, and<br>
neuromodulation.<br>
<br>
Excellent understanding of and experience with fMRI and data analysis is<br>
required. Strong programming skills (matlab, python, etc.) are also a<br>
requirement. Experience with data analysis techniques using MVPA and other<br>
multivariate approaches (e.g., Representation Similarity Analysis). Very<br>
good English (oral and written) communicative skills are necessary.<br>
<br>
The position is for a maximum of 5 years, and will start in February 2019.<br>
The position involves no formal teaching (unless the candidate wants to).<br>
It does involve, however, lab mentoring.<br>
<br>
The salary is extremely competitive ? between 2200 and 2400 euros per month<br>
(dependent on experience), tax free (annual 26400-28800 euros tax free).<br>
This value is on par with the average salaries at top American<br>
institutions, as well as London, Paris, etc. However, the cost of living in<br>
Portugal (and particularly in Coimbra) is much lower. According to Numbeo,<br>
2400 euros would be equivalent to 4850 pounds in London/4800 euros in<br>
Paris/6615 USD in Boston/6210 USD in Los Angeles/ 8330 USD in New York).<br>
<br>
The researcher will work directly with Jorge Almeida in Coimbra, but the<br>
laboratory has extensive collaborations with researchers throughout the<br>
world. In fact, there may be the option of spending some time in another<br>
lab as part of the position. The researcher will also be encouraged to<br>
develop her/his own projects and look for additional funding so that the<br>
stay can be extended.<br>
<br>
We have access to a 3T MRI scanner with a 32-channel coil (with EEG inside<br>
the scanner), to tDCS with neuronavigation, and to a fully set<br>
psychophysics lab. We have EEG and eyetracking on site. We also have<br>
access, through other collaborations, to a 7T scanner. Finally, the<br>
University of Coimbra is a 700 year old University and has been selected as<br>
a UNESCO world Heritage site. Coimbra is one of the most lively university<br>
cities in the world, and it is a beautiful city with easy access to the<br>
beach and mountain.<br>
<br>
The deadline for the application is NOVEMBER 20, but you should apply as<br>
soon as you can, as we may fill in the positions sooner than the deadline<br>
if there are candidates with a superb fit with the requirements and<br>
project. The interested candidates should email Jorge Almeida for questions<br>
and applications. Please send an email with the subject ?Post-doc position<br>
underERC - ContentMAP? with your*curriculum vitae, list of publications, 2<br>
reference letters, and a short description of your experience in the field<br>
and how you fulfill the requirements (fit with the position)* to:<br>

The Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences (CLPS)<br>
at Brown University invites qualified applicants to apply to our Ph.D.<br>
programs for the 2019-2020 academic year. Located in Providence, Rhode<br>
Island -- a vibrant, affordable city close to Boston and New York -- Brown<br>
University offers interdisciplinary training in developmental science in<br>
state-of-the-art facilities. Successful applicants are guaranteed five<br>
years of full tuition, stipend, summer funding, and research and travel<br>
support.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The following faculty are available to train graduate students:<br>
<br>
- *Dima Amso* studies development of attention and memory in typical and<br>
atypical development using combined behavioral, genetic, and neuroimaging<br>
measures. <a href="http://research.clps.brown.edu/dcnl/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://research.clps.brown.edu/dcnl/</a><br>
- *Roman Feiman* studies conceptual development, language acquisition,<br>
and experimental semantics and pragmatics. His focus is on compositional<br>
meaning in language and thought. <a href="https://sites.brown.edu/bltlab/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sites.brown.edu/bltlab/</a><br>
- *James Morgan* investigates cognitive and environmental underpinnings<br>
of early language acquisition, with particular focus on speech<br>
perception and spoken word recognition. <a href="http://babies.brown.edu/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://babies.brown.edu/</a><br>
- *David Sobel* examines the development of reasoning and social<br>
cognition in both formal and informal learning environments. Topics of<br>
interest include causal learning, children?s pretense, selective learning,<br>
and development of prosocial behavior.<br>
