[FieldTrip] PhD position - Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (Canada) - Affective and Cognitive Neurosciences.

[Rigoulot, Simon]

Description

We invite applications for a PhD research fellowship in Psychology in the field of affective neuroscience at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. Under the direction of Professor Rigoulot, whose work has been recognized for its impact in the field, our laboratory offers a unique and dynamic environment to explore how the brain analyzes and processes emotional information with an approach combining perspectives from cognition, emotion and culture/social interactions. If you are passionate about research in these areas, we encourage you to apply.

We employ state-of-the-art techniques including EEG, eye-tracking, and psychophysiological measures (heart rate, skin conductance) to examine neural correlates of emotional processing. These methods enable us to explore the intricate links between cognition (memory, attention, decision making), emotion, and social interactions (empathy, culture). For example, two current projects center around the investigation of the perception of multimodal emotion (faces, voice, odors) and their impact on memory and attention as a function of age or culture. However, other projects close to these themes will be considered. Our projects are supported by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada. The fellowship duration is 3 years. The position is available immediately, ideally for a start in September 2025 but starting date is flexible. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until April 30th, or until the position is filled.

Qualifications
The selected candidate will have a master’s degree in Psychology, Neurosciences or related domains. All profiles with research experience and strong motivation will be considered. The ideal candidate will be experienced in electro-encephalography, cognitive neurosciences, coding (Matlab, Python and/or E-prime) and statistical analyses (R-studio, JASP).

Contact
For any inquiries about the fellowship or research environment, feel free to contact Professor Simon Rigoulot at simon.rigoulot at uqtr.ca<mailto:simon.rigoulot at uqtr.ca>. Interested candidates must send by email to Simon Rigoulot (simon.rigoulot at uqtr.ca<mailto:simon.rigoulot at uqtr.ca>) two separate documents, the first one being their CV, and the second one a cover letter covering their background, experiences and research interests, and including the contact information of 2-3 referees.

Note
We support equity and diversity. We welcome all candidatures, without any distinction in regards to origins, handicaps, minorities or gender identities. We thank all the candidates for their interest. All candidates will be evaluated based on academic excellence and potential for graduate studies. Only successful candidates will be contacted for an interview.
