[Joan López-Moliner]

PhD position at the University of Barcelona

Applications are invited for one PhD student in the Group of  
Attention, Action and Perception (http://www.pcb.ub.es/homepcb/live/ 
en/p2153.asp) at the Parc Científic of University of Barcelona

(Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Scheme, Spain Ministry of Science and  
Education).

The project is conceived with an open and multidisciplinary vocation,  
as one of its major anchor points places the stress on the mutual  
influence (both in terms of cognitive and neural processes) between  
perception, multisensory integration, and the executive control  
attention. This is an excellent opportunity for professional growth  
for those interested in  the fields of psychology, neurobiology,  
cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines including computer  
science. The position is available for candidates interested in  
conducting psychophysical studies on multisensory integration.  
Complementary to those, the candidate will have the opportunity to  
participate in research projects adopting other methodologies, such  
as human electrophysiology, fMRI, eye tracking, or testing  
neuropsychological patients, among others.

We are seeking highly motivated applicants with an interest in the  
Cognitive Neurosciences and who have (or are close to have) a degree  
in Psychology, Life Sciences, or related fields. Essential to the  
post are good communication and writing skills (in English). Some  
laboratory experience with psychophysics / experimental psychology,  
as well as computer programming skills, will be valued. Only  
applicants from the European Union will be considered.

The position is funded for 4 years, beginning as soon as possible.  
Approx. salary is 15,000 Eur/year (before taxes). Applications will  
be accepted until the position is filled.
