[D-multisensory] PhD POSITIONS / BARCELONA

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 PhD positions in the cognitive neuroscience of multisensory integration
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applications are invited for full-time 
pre-doctoral research position in the Group of Attention, Action and
Perception 
(http://www.pcb.ub.es/grnc/mrg/meg-home) at the Parc Científic of University of
Barcelona (Spain). The positions are funded 
through BRAINGLOT, a Spanish Research Network on
Bilingualism and Cognitive Neuroscience 
(Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Scheme, Spanish Ministry of Science
and Education).

Project
The project brings together the efforts of 
several research groups spanning different scientific disciplines
with the common purpose of addressing the 
phenomenon of bilingualism. 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 bilingualism and other functions such
as auditory perception, multisensory integration, 
and the executive control attention. This is an excellent
opportunity to start an academic career for those 
interested in the fields of psychology, neurobiology,
cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines. 
These positions are available mainly to conduct studies on
multisensory integration using 
behavioural/psychophysical methods, human electrophysiology and/or
neuroimaging.

Candidate Profile
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. Some 
experience with psychophysics, behavioral,
neuropsychology, ERPs or other neuroimaging 
methodologies will be valued. Applicants from outside the
EU are welcome to apply but must qualify for a valid visa.

   Starting date: Beginning of 2008
   Salary: 15,000 Eur/y (before taxes)
