<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12px;"><font face="Arial">Applications are invited for the role of post-doctoral researcher at Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience (TCIN) to work in the Multisensory Cognition Lab headed by Professor Fiona Newell.
The research is funded by the Health Research Board, </font></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">in collaboration with Dr. Annalisa Setti, University College Cork and Prof. Ladan Shams, University of California Los Angeles</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"> and
is aimed at providing a better understanding of the role of ageing on multisensory perception. The post-doctoral researcher will be based in TCIN and affiliated with the TILDA study at the School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin. TILDA is a large-scale,
nationally representative, longitudinal study of ageing in Ireland led by Professor Roseanne Kenny. The rich data set acquired through the TILDA study provides a unique and exciting opportunity to explore individual differences in multisensory processes relating
to cognition and health in older adults (for more details see <a href="https://tilda.tcd.ie/" style="color: purple;">https://tilda.tcd.ie</a>).</span></p>
