Fully Funded PhD Position in Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroscience at Zhejiang University Zhejiang University in China

Zhejiang University is offering a fully funded PhD position in Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroscience for international students. The position is based in a lab that investigates the fundamental science of auditory cognition and temporal integration, focusing on how the brain integrates information over time to form coherent perceptions and predictions. The research group employs advanced animal models, including macaques, mice, and rats, as well as human neuroscience experiments, to develop computational techniques and models that bridge biology and cognition. The lab is also expanding into AI-informed neuroscience to deepen the understanding of brain function.

The lab is led by Dr. Yu, a principal investigator at Zhejiang University, who has extensive experience in auditory and vestibular research, combining neurophysiological techniques with behavioral analysis. The research topics include attention, decision making, and the integration of behavior analysis into auditory neurophysiology. Zhejiang University is recognized as a global leader in research and innovation, ranked among the Top 10 in Asia and Top 50 worldwide (QS), and offers exceptional interdisciplinary collaboration and state-of-the-art facilities for doctoral research.

The PhD position is fully funded, covering tuition and providing a stipend, with additional support for research, collaboration, and travel. Students will have access to cutting-edge neuroscience infrastructure and mentorship from an experienced research team. Eligible candidates should hold a Master’s degree in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Computational Biology, or related fields, and preference will be given to those with 2–3 publications. A strong interest in auditory cognition and temporal integration is essential.

To apply, interested candidates should send their CV and a short research statement via direct message, email ([email protected]), or through the lab’s contact channel. This is an excellent opportunity to join a vibrant research community and contribute to advancing the understanding of how the brain hears, predicts, and understands the world.
