About this position

The Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral position in cognitive computational neuroscience and human movement perception. The fixed-term role is part of the project Mapping Experience of Action: Redefining Theories of Consciousness, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

Led by Professor Thor Grünbaum and Associate Professor Mark Schram Christensen, the interdisciplinary project develops a scientific approach to consciousness through the study of conscious experiences of movement. It examines how bodily and neural signals contribute to movement awareness and evaluates leading neuroscientific theories of conscious experience.

The postdoc will contribute to research combining psychophysical experiments, computational modelling, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and philosophical analysis. The successful researcher is expected to develop a project situated within the overall research framework, proposing specific experimental and modelling approaches that advance the study of action, perception, consciousness, and human behavioral neuroscience.

The position is based in the Cognition, Intention and Action research group within the Section for Cognition and Brain Sciences. The postdoc will work closely with project members in cognitive neuroscience and philosophy, as well as student assistants specializing in Cognitive Data Science. The research environment emphasizes daily participation in the laboratory, collaboration, experimental design, modelling, and rigorous handling and analysis of behavioral and neuroscientific data.

The role is primarily research-focused, with possible limited teaching and additional academic duties. The appointed researcher will join a collaborative team investigating movement awareness and the computational and neural bases of conscious experience.

Funding details

This is a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral position for 30 months (2.5 years). The salary starts at approximately DKK 39,000 per month, plus an 18.07% pension contribution. Salary supplements may be negotiated annually. Employment terms follow the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research qualifications in a relevant field, such as cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, cognitive modelling, biomedical engineering, sports science with a focus on behavioral neuroscience, or a similar discipline. Strong skills in cognitive modelling, experimental design, data handling, and data analysis are expected and should be documented through relevant scientific publications. Applicants must be able to develop and situate a short project description and research plan within the overall consciousness project. Applications must include a CV, cover letter with preferred starting date, qualification documentation, publication list, selected publications, project description, and research plan, submitted in English.

How to apply

Apply online through the Talentech application portal by 1 December 2026 at 23:59 CET. Submit the application in English with the required CV, cover letter, qualification documents, publication materials, project description, and research plan. Request the original project proposal from Associate Professor Mark Schram Christensen before applying.
