<div dir="ltr"><div><p><strong>Postdoc and PhD Student Positions to Study Cognition in Naturalistic Settings</strong><br><strong>Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland</strong></p><p><strong>Job Description:</strong><br>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. <u>Interested
applicants should contact Marcin Leszczyński (<a rel="noreferrer">marcin.leszczynski@uj.edu.pl</a>) to discuss possibilities</u>.</p><p><strong>Lab Description:</strong><br>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).</p><p>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.</p><p><strong>Requirements:</strong><br><strong>Postdoc Applicants:</strong></p><ul><li>Must hold, or expect to hold, a doctorate in Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or related disciplines.</li><li>Ideal
candidates will have experience designing, performing, analyzing, and
disseminating psychophysics studies or experimental studies using eye
