Project
The project brings together the efforts of 
several research groups spanning different scientific disciplines

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 for professional growth for those 
interested in the fields of psychology, neurobiology,
cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines 
including computer science. This position is available mainly
to lead brain imaging studies using fMRI of 
multisensory integration (possibly complemented with other
methodologies like ERP, behavioral, etc…).

Candidate Profile
Candidates must have a completed (or near to 
completion) PhD and a solid background in the life
sciences, cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience, 
and/or cognitive psychology. Experience with functional
MRI data analysis and basic programming skills 
(e.g., Presentation, E-prime, and Matlab) will be strongly
valued. Applicants from outside the EU are 
welcome to apply but must qualify for a valid visa.

Conditions
• Position: The position will be funded and renewable for up to three years
• Starting date: Flexible throughout first half of 2008
