PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Neurocognition in Austria

This PhD studentship investigates how the increasing replacement of human staff by artificial intelligence may create new forms of digital inequality. The project, Human contact as a costly premium: the consequences of new digital inequalities , examines what happens when access to human contact becomes a service that only some people can afford. Working across the UK and Italy, the doctoral researcher will study whether unequal access to human interaction affects people’s satisfaction, sense of...

This PhD project investigates the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying knowledge-driven enhancements in visual working memory. The research focuses on how existing knowledge can improve working-memory performance and aims to clarify the cognitive processes responsible for these enhancements. The project will use a combination of behavioural experiments, electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking and computational modelling. This multimethod approach offers training in cognitive psychology ...

The University of Iowa is offering an NIH-funded postdoctoral research opportunity in human neuroscience focused on the mechanisms of cognitive control. Led by Dr. Kai Hwang, the project will examine how cognitive control representations are organized in the brain and investigate the functions of the human thalamocortical system. The research directions will be developed collaboratively with the successful postdoctoral researcher, allowing the project to reflect the researcher’s interests and ex...

Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Devenney team in Randwick, Sydney. The project focuses on preclinical dementia risk and resilience, and on identifying early disease-related changes before overt cognitive impairment develops. The fellow will work across rich, well-characterised clinical and research cohorts, using longitudinal and multimodal data to investigate factors associated with dementia risk and resilience. Research may integrat...

Texas A&M University is seeking a Research Associate in the Department of Psychology, based in College Station, Texas. The role provides technical research support for studies involving human participants, with a primary focus on participant recruitment, screening, scheduling, retention, and coordination. The successful candidate will support the participant pool, maintain accurate and confidential participant records, communicate study instructions and follow-up information, coordinate research...

This postdoctoral role at Texas A&M University sits in the Department of Psychology and is centered on research into the cerebellum across aging, menopause, and age-related neurodegenerative disease. The project uses neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation as the main research approaches, with a strong emphasis on longitudinal work and the analysis of cerebellar measures over time. The successful candidate will contribute to existing and new laboratory studies by helping develop neuroima...

International Max Planck Research School on Cognitive NeuroImaging (IMPRS CoNI) is a doctoral programme based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, offered in cooperation with Leipzig University, the Technical University of Dresden, and the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. The programme is designed for doctoral researchers interested in the highly interdisciplinary study of human neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on...

Forschungszentrum Jülich is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Multiscale Neurodevelopment team within the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine – Brain and Behaviour (INM-7) in Jülich, Germany. The team investigates how cortical architecture, connectivity and functional dynamics mature across early life. Combining multiscale frameworks with computational modelling, the research aims to improve understanding of cognitive maturation and psychiatric illness. The project brings together...

The University of Jyväskylä’s Department of Psychology is recruiting 1–2 doctoral researchers for its Doctoral Programme in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience. The fixed-term role is designed for researchers completing doctoral studies and a dissertation in psychology or cognitive neuroscience. Doctoral researchers will conduct research toward their doctoral thesis, advance their doctoral studies, contribute to manuscripts and related scholarly activities, and assist with teaching and other d...
