We are pleased to announce an exciting opportunity at KU Leuven (Belgium): the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences invites applications for a full-time Research Professorship in Experimental Cognitive Psychology within the Brain & Cognition research unit (http://ppw.kuleuven.be/bc). This prestigious position is funded by the Special Research Fund (BOFZAP) of the Flemish Government.

We are looking for internationally oriented scholars with an excellent research record and educational competence in experimental cognitive psychology, particularly focusing on perception and/or memory using innovative behavioral paradigms. We also warmly welcome candidates whose work integrates interdisciplinary methods (such as computational or neuroscience approaches), a neuropsychological perspective, or a focus on diverse cognitive profiles beyond young, neurotypical populations.

The position is embedded in KU Leuven’s broader cognitive and brain sciences community, with opportunities for collaboration across faculties and through the Leuven Brain Institute (LBI)<https://www.kuleuven.be/brain-institute>.

The position offers:

  *   a strong focus on research during the first ten years,
  *   a reduced teaching load at the start,

  *   competitive starting resources and strong support for international researchers.
