PhD Opportunities in Neurocognition in Belgium

Technische Universität Dresden is seeking a doctoral researcher for the project “Moving from Symptom Categories to Cognitive State Signatures in ADHD and ASD.” The project is led by Dr. Paul Wendiggensen and concerns the development of a deeper, cognition-focused understanding of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. The PhD researcher will join an interdisciplinary research team working at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience , cognitive neurophysiology , ...

The University of Copenhagen invites applications for a three-year PhD scholarship in the project “Exploring the bases of individual differences in face recognition” , funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project investigates why face-recognition ability varies across a large, representative sample of the Danish population and how this variation relates to other measures of cognition. The PhD project will focus on relating individual differences in face recognition to indicators ...

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 ...

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...
