Description

The Department of Psychology at Brock University, under the supervision of Professor Karen Campbell (Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging) and in collaboration with Dr. Linda Geerligs, is seeking international PhD students and postdoctoral researchers for the Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards. This prestigious Canadian government initiative aims to attract top international research talent to Canada, with a focus on high-impact research in priority areas such as advanced digital technologies, health, and cognitive neuroscience.

The available postdoctoral position will focus on longitudinal changes in neural states during movie watching and memory, leveraging advanced computational methods. Applicants should have strong computational skills and a background in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or related fields. The research will be conducted in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, with opportunities to work closely with leading experts in the field.

The Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards provide generous funding: $40,000 per year for doctoral students (three years) and $70,000 per year for postdoctoral researchers (two years). The awards are fully funded and designed to support international researchers, including Canadians returning from abroad who are not currently affiliated with a Canadian institution. The program is administered by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

Eligibility requirements include being an international researcher at the doctoral or postdoctoral level, with a strong academic background and research experience relevant to the project. For the postdoctoral position, advanced computational skills are essential. Nominees must not currently be affiliated with a Canadian institution and must align with the program's priority research areas. Additional requirements may apply as per Brock University's policies.

To apply, interested candidates should email their CV to Professor Karen Campbell. Further details about the nomination process and application timeline will be provided by the supervisor and institution.
