Queen's University Belfast is advertising a PhD opportunity in the School of Psychology on children’s intuitions about ownership and whether these are influenced by concerns for human flourishing . The project asks whether, when ownership is disputed, children will attribute ownership to the person who stands to benefit most. It builds on prior work on first possession and land ownership, and connects psychological research on ownership cognition with progressive theories of property in legal st...

About this position

Trinity College Dublin’s Institute of Neuroscience and School of Psychology, through the Irrationality Lab, is offering postdoctoral positions in Decision Neuroscience. This opportunity is ideal for researchers interested in the intersection of human decision neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and computational neuroscience. The research focuses on understanding the neural and computational mechanisms underlying preference variability and how the human brain shapes, maintains, and revises preferences for different attributes.

Successful candidates will engage in experimental, analytical, and computational research, utilizing advanced techniques such as magnetencephalography (OPM-MEG) to decode preferences at the level of single multiattribute decisions. The work involves charting the temporal dynamics of multiattribute preferences across successive decisions and conducting computational modeling of human decision-making grounded in neurophysiological data. The position also includes contributing to research at the intersection of decision science and cognitive neuroscience, as well as writing and publishing peer-reviewed scientific papers.

Applicants should hold a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, or a related field, and have experience in experimental, analytical, and computational research. Proficiency in English is required, and skills in OPM-MEG, computational modeling, and neurophysiological data analysis are highly desirable. The salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications, following the IUA Salary Scales for post-PhD Researchers. The latest possible start date is November 2026.

To apply, candidates should contact the lab by email at [email protected], ensuring their background matches the required neuroscience specialties. This is an excellent opportunity to join a leading research group at Trinity College Dublin and contribute to cutting-edge research in decision neuroscience.
