[visionlist] Independent young PI Position to lead the newly formed TMS Lab (University of Coimbra)

[Jorge Almeida]

Dear all,

Apologies for the cross-posting.

We are seeking a researcher interested in establishing themselves as an
independent PI under a 2–3 year contract in Portugal, to lead and develop a
newly established TMS laboratory. The lab is equipped with a Magstim Super
Rapid² TMS system and Brainsight neuronavigation.

The successful candidate will lead the TMS facility and will have
substantial access to the equipment to pursue their own research program.
There will also be opportunities for collaboration with other PIs in the
department, including Jorge Almeida, Joana Carvalho, Jason Fischer, Pawel
Tacikowski, Robert Whitwell, Zohar Tal, Ceren Battal, and Alfonso
Caramazza, on joint TMS projects.

We are particularly interested in researchers who aim to build an
independent research group (seed funding may be available, as well as
support for major competitive applications - e.g., ERC) and who use TMS to
investigate cognitive processes from a fundamental science perspective.
While our primary focus is basic cognitive neuroscience, we would consider
work involving neurological populations (e.g., individuals with brain
damage), though we are less focused on psychiatric or clinical intervention
approaches.

In addition to TMS, the department provides access to tDCS systems, fMRI,
EEG, fMRI compatible EEG, eye tracking, motion tracking, and virtual
reality equipment.

This position is part of the major European-funded CogBooster initiative,
which aims to establish a permanent team of cognitive neuroscientists
within the Department of Psychology at the University of Coimbra. The
current group is highly international and conducts research spanning low-
and high-level vision, memory, attention, and action.

If you — or someone you know — might be interested in this opportunity,
please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,
Jorge
