[visionlist] Postdoctoral position in fMRI and cross-modal plasticity - University of Coimbra, Portugal

[zohar tal]

A postdoctoral position is available in the *CrossToPlasticity* project at
the University of Coimbra, funded by the Portuguese Science Foundation
(FCT). The project examines how the auditory cortex reorganizes in
congenital deafness, focusing on cross-modal visual responses and
large-scale cortical organization using advanced fMRI and behavioral
methods.

The position involves:

   - developing and running fMRI and behavioral experiments with deaf and
   hearing participants
   - analysis of functional imaging data (including receptive field and
   topographic mapping approaches)
   - contributing to scientific outputs and project planning within a
   collaborative research team

The work will be carried out at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational
Sciences, with full access to imaging and behavioral facilities associated
with the Proaction Lab and collaborating groups. The position is available
immediately, and the exact start date can be adjusted to the selected
candidate’s availability.

Required qualifications

   - Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering,
   or related areas
   - Demonstrated experience in fMRI design, acquisition, and analysis
   - Programming skills (Python, Matlab, or R)
   - Strong communication and scientific writing skills
   - Ability to work independently and as part of a team

Optional/desirable

   - Experience with advanced fMRI analysis methods (e.g., pRF,
   multivariate approaches, connectivity)
   - Background or interest in sensory plasticity or cortical organization
