Jose Andres Gonzalez Lopez

The University of Granada, under the supervision of Associate Professor Jose Andres Gonzalez Lopez, is seeking postdoctoral candidates for the Juan de la Cierva Fellowship 2025. This prestigious, fully funded opportunity is ideal for early-career researchers interested in advancing the frontiers of neuroscience, large language models (LLMs), explainable AI (XAI), and AI-driven cognitive modelling. The research group focuses on interdisciplinary work combining computational neuroscience, machine learning, and ethical, transparent AI. Eligible applicants must have completed a PhD in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, AI, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025 (or between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2025 for candidates with a disability of 33% or more). Candidates should demonstrate a strong interest or background in LLMs, explainable AI, computational neuroscience, or cognitive modelling, and be motivated to contribute to high-impact, cross-disciplinary research in an international environment. The Juan de la Cierva fellowship offers a three-year, fully funded postdoctoral contract with an annual salary of €35,000 and an additional €15,000 for research expenses. The program is co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus and supports independent research in a supportive, innovative setting. The selection process is highly competitive, based on academic merit and the research team's scientific record. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Gonzalez Lopez directly to discuss potential projects and fit with the research group.

Postdoctoral researchers are invited to join a team at the University of Granada working on speech decoding from brain and muscle activity . The group’s research combines brain-computer interfaces , silent speech interfaces , and speech neuroprostheses with deep learning and speech synthesis . The post highlights access to rare neural datasets, including intracranial sEEG , in-house GPU computing infrastructure, and international collaborations. Two Spanish AEI fellowship routes are mentioned for 2026: Juan de la Cierva (3-year postdoctoral contract) and Ramón y Cajal (5-year contract). Juan de la Cierva requires a PhD awarded between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2026, subject to eligibility rules and mobility restrictions, and offers a minimum annual salary of €31,200 gross plus €15,000 for mobility and research. Ramón y Cajal requires a PhD awarded between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2024, subject to eligibility rules and extensions, and offers a minimum annual salary of €40,000 gross plus research funding and support toward a permanent position. The post is aimed at candidates interested in neurotechnology , neuroscience , computer science , and related signal-processing/AI work. The work location is explicitly Granada, Spain. Deadline information given in the post is 26 November at 14:00 CET for Juan de la Cierva and 10 December at 14:00 CET for Ramón y Cajal. Interested applicants are asked to send a DM or email with a CV and a brief description of research interests, and to contact the professor as early as possible so eligibility can be assessed and the application prepared together.
