[visionlist] PhD studentship in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience: BCBL, Basque Center on Brain Cognition and Language (San Sebastian, Spain)

[David Soto]

Applications are invited for a 4-year full-time PhD Studentship in
cognitive neuroscience at the Basque Center on Brain Cognition and Language
(BCBL) in San Sebastian (Spain) to study the development of metacognition
in connection with executive and language control processes in the human
brain. Applicants should have an honours and a Masters degree in
Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Computer science, or Neuroscience and
have a strong interest in the key areas of  cognitive neuroscience that are
relevant for the research, coupled with strong computational skills (e.g.,
Python, Matlab). Experience with state-of-the art neuroscientific
techniques (e.g., MRI) is highly desirable as well as to demonstrate an
ability to work with pediatric and adult samples. Both excellent
communication skills and command of the Spanish language is a requirement.
The student will receive a stipend of 16.000 € during the first 2 years and
18.000 € during the last 2 years. Despite the fact that the position is for
4 years, it is expected that the elected candidate will apply for
predoctoral grants from national and local funding agencies.

The BCBL research facilities include a 3T Siemens Prisma MRI, a whole-head
MEG system, four ERP labs, a NIRS lab, a baby lab, and several
well-equipped behavioral labs including eye trackers and a computing
cluster. There are also excellent technical support team and research
staff. Details of BCBL faculty research interests and research facilities
can be found at http://ift.tt/21UUyx0.

Interested candidates should email Kepa Paz-Alonso, p.pazalonso at bcbl.eu,
and David Soto, d.soto at bcbl.eu, with a covering letter outlining research
interests, CV and the names of two referees that can provide letters of
recommendation.
