[FieldTrip] Two postdoctoral research positions, University of Trento and University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy

[Michele Scaltritti]

Dear all (apologies for cross-posting),

We are inviting expressions of interest for two forthcoming postdoctoral
positions, one at the Department of Psychology - University of
Milano-Bicocca (supervisor: Simone Sulpizio), and one at the Department of
Psychology and Cognitive Science - University of Trento (supervisor:
Michele Scaltritti).



Both positions will be supported by a recently funded project entitled
“FundDeMYO - Functional characterization of decisional components in motor
responses for young and older adults”. The project focuses on the
investigation of the decisional components affecting motor-response
execution during binary decision making, in an effort to better understand
the boundaries between cognition and action.


The research will use linguistic stimuli and tasks (lexical decision), and
will mainly rely on behavioural and electromyographic (EMG) measures as
well as on comparisons across different populations (young vs older adults) .




The ideal candidates should have a PhD in cognitive/experimental psychology
or related disciplines, as well as substantial experience with psychology
experiments (design, data collection, analyses). Previous experience with
physiological data, psycholinguistic and aging research are a plus. To
facilitate communication with older adults, a working knowledge of Italian
would be an asset, and the ideal candidate should be at least willing to
acquire it over the first year.



We offer a competitive salary and we make it a priority to support a good
work-life balance as well as a friendly and inclusive research environment.



Expressions of interest should be submitted via email to
simone.sulpizio at unimib.it or michele.scaltritti at unitn.it and include:

•   a CV

•   names and contacts of one or two references

Informal inquiries are welcomed.



Please note that this is just an informal call for expressions of interest.
Positions will be subject to a formal hiring procedure, in compliance with
national and institutional requirements.



*Duration*: 24 months

*Tentative starting date*: January 2024





*The Department of Psychology at UniMiB is extremely young (it was
established in 1999) and yet presents a great tradition The Department
combines basic and applied research, building on effective interactions
between various disciplines, which all contribute to the knowledge of mind.
Today is one of Italy’s most prestigious and high-ranked departments of
psychology, as well as being the largest, with its current 79 faculty
members, dozens of doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, and over 20
research laboratories. Contact: simone.sulpizio at unimib.it

*The Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science at UNITN offers a great
research environment, and has been recently ranked among the top Psychology
Department of Italy. It provides state-of-the-art facilities (multiple
labs, 2 EEG systems, eye-trackers, and multiple devices for acquiring
physiological data), a multidisciplinary perspective on the study of the
mind and cognition, as well as a warm and friendly working environment. The
Department is located in Rovereto, a smaller but well-connected town (15
mins from Trento by train) with a remarkable quality of life. Contact:
