Why some people can comply with highly immoral orders while other will risk their own lives to rescue human beings? The present project aims to understand why some individuals are more likely to stand up against immoral orders than others. In this project,
we will explore what neuro-cognitive processes prevent an individual from causing pain to another individual in coercive contexts. We will primarily focus on the sense of agency, which is the feeling of being the author of one’s own action and thus responsible
for its consequences, and on empathy for pain. The successful applicant will join the Moral & Social Brain Lab (<a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmoralsocialbrain.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cemilie.caspar%40ulb.be%7Cd62f70d8a7dd4dc63c2108d99319c266%7C30a5145e75bd4212bb028ff9c0ea4ae9%7C0%7C0%7C637702561119719730%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=79Knbn5gxwVzYw1sKBORG24i6JdvtTdIeTgXDJjuLZs%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" shash="Wee2tVhjqVR0Me/oUORa3AB3vem3T1Flqnu5LFwLm568n9wNv4MJZ1tIlKdmuyng7gyFI0lTJ0aF1PpcY7+VMiWEFTkhOifzmfJXEcSQNovnoY4b4a4/wyyS8u5uRV/5Lo5TGOgS6755u++oU+OdZmVCAJ+GV/nDJGHt+L9tTxU=" data-linkindex="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(5, 99, 193);" class="">https://moralsocialbrain.com/</a>).

A Postdoctoral position under the condition of international mobility (2 years) in social and behavioural neurosciences is available at Ghent University. The position is funded by a BOF Starting Grant. The research will be led by Prof. Emilie Caspar (Department
of Experimental Psychology).</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; max-width: unset;" class="">
<span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">Past experience as indexed by scientific publications in fMRI will be a strong asset. Additional experience with EEG (especially with advanced technique such as hyperscanning, source reconstruction) and TMS/tDCS will

In our lab, we try to avoid testing only WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) individuals.
