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

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
