in naturalistic situations*
*Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland*

*Job Description:*
The Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, is excited to announce
several upcoming job openings at different levels (postdoc and PhD) to work
on the psychophysics and electrophysiology of cognition. These positions
are funded by the National Science Center, Poland. We are seeking highly
motivated candidates eager to investigate cognition using eye tracking,
virtual reality (VR), electrophysiology, psychophysics, and advanced signal
processing tools. Interested applicants should contact Marcin Leszczyński
to discuss possibilities.

*Lab Description:*
Successful candidates will join a dynamic research group at the Cognitive
Science Center at Jagiellonian University, located in the beautiful city of
Kraków. Our lab employs a variety of technologies, including
electrophysiology, eye-tracking, VR, and psychophysics, combined with
advanced signal processing and machine learning, to study cognition in
health and disease. We offer a vibrant international research environment,
with English as the working language (no need to speak Polish).

We encourage interested candidates to get in touch to discuss the
opportunities available. The department provides excellent infrastructure,
including supporting staff and state-of-the-art equipment for conducting
experiments (e.g., behavioral laboratories, EEG, fMRI, TMS, eye-tracking,
and VR setups). Additionally, motivated candidates will have the chance to
participate in numerous collaborative projects with partners at Columbia
University in New York City, Nathan Kline Institute, and University
Hospital in Bonn.

   - Salary for this position is approximately 9600 PLN per month.

*PhD Applicants:*

   - Should have previous programming experience and a research interest in
   neuroscience, perception, attention, memory, eye movements, sensory-motor,
   or multi-sensory interactions.
   - Previous experience in analyzing psychophysiological signals is an
   asset.
   - Ability to work independently and proficiency in English are essential
   (no need to speak Polish).

For further inquiries about the positions, please contact Marcin
Leszczyński at marcin.leszczynski at uj.edu.pl.
