[FieldTrip] PhD and Postdoc Positions in Psychology/Neuroscience/Electroencephalography

[David Pascucci]

A project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation as part of a
Starting Grant (Principal Investigator: David Pascucci
<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=kvHIlLwAAAAJ&hl=en>, *CHUV/Unil/The
Sense Innovation Center*), is currently seeking:



-          *1 PhD candidate* (4 years, *starting in 2024*)

-          *2 Postdoctoral* researchers (2 years each, *starting late 2024
– early-mid 2025 preferred*)



*Project aim*: To understand the relationship between individual-specific
temporal structures of neural activity—particularly focusing on *alpha-band
neuronal oscillations*—and variability in *perceptual and cognitive
functions*.
Specific segments of the project will explore temporal structures of neural
activity linked to inter-individual variability in *contextual effects in
perception*.



*Project methods*: The project involves the *collection of large-scale
datasets* comprising resting-state and event-related electroencephalography
(*EEG*) data, recorded alongside behavioral performance in a wide
range of *visual
tasks*. The analysis will combine human psychophysics, EEG and EEG inverse
modeling with advanced multivariate statistical and predictive modeling
techniques.



*PhD position
<https://recrutement.chuv.ch/vacancy/phd-position-in-psychology-neuroscience-eeg-radiology-department-297545.html>
(starting as of 2024):*

*Main tasks*:

1.     Recruitment of study participants, collection, and analysis of
EEG+behavioral data.

2.     Dissemination of research through conference presentations and
peer-reviewed publications.

*Requirements and ideal skills*:

-         Master’s degree in Cognitive Psychology / Neuroscience /
Bioengineering / Physiology.

-         Strong motivation and commitment to data collection and analysis.

-         Previous experience with psychophysics and EEG/signal processing
(a plus, not mandatory).



*Postdoc positions
<https://recrutement.chuv.ch/vacancy/postdoctoral-positions-in-psychology-neuroscience-eeg-radiology-department-297525.html>
(starting late 2024 – early-mid 2025 preferred):*

*Main tasks*:

1.     Analysis and modeling of EEG+behavioral data.

2.     Leading sub-projects (from experimental design to data analysis).

3.     Development and validation of codes and toolboxes for public release
(Matlab, Python, R).

4.     Dissemination of research through conference presentations and
peer-reviewed publications.

*Requirements and ideal skills*:

-          Proficiency in neuroimaging techniques (EEG, inverse solution)
and signal processing (ERP, spectral analysis), as well as psychophysics.

-          Good/strong statistical, computational, and programming skills.



The project involves collaboration with a broad network of partners both
within and outside Switzerland.
