The Faculty of Psychology, Higher School of Economics (HSE, Moscow) is
pleased to announce a number of new post-doctoral and PhD posts at
Cognitive Control, Communication and Perception Laboratory (
http://www.hse.ru/en/cdm-centre/CCCP). The post holders will have an
advantage of being able to further define and expand the laboratory’s
research programme. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
neural dynamics of language comprehension and production, automaticity and
top-down control in communication, sensory-motor integration in cognitive
functions, embodied cognition, neurocognitive bases of numeracy,
interactions between domain-specific and domain-general cognitive systems,
neurobiological mechanisms of language acquisition, studies of
communication deficits (e.g. aphasia) etc.

The laboratory is a structural part of the HSE’s Centre for Cognition &
Decision Making (http://www.hse.ru/en/cdm-centre) with ample collaboration
opportunities within the Centre with other research groups, both within
Russia and internationally. Research facilities include multi-channel EEG,
navigated TMS-EEG, behavioural and eye-tracking equipment, as well as local
access to MEG, fMRI and a range of neurological populations. This new
international lab will operate in tight collaboration with the Centre of
Functionally Integrative Neuroscience at Aarhus University (Denmark),
Psychology Department at Northumbria University Newcastle (UK), and other
international collaborators.

The HSE is a young, dynamic and fast-growing research-intensive university
providing unique research opportunities (http://hse.ru/en,
http://psy.hse.ru/en). The Faculty of Psychology is committed to developing
various areas of modern experimental psychology and, most crucially,
Cognitive Neuroscience. Working conditions:
- Access to multimodal neuroimaging facilities (brain-navigated TMS,
multi-channel EGG, MEG, eye-tracking, etc. http://psy.hse.ru/en/res-center)
- Internationally competitive salary, 13% flat income tax rate and other
benefits
- Generous travel support and research grants provided by the University’s
Centre for Advanced Studies (www.cas.hse.ru)
- Low teaching load, minimal administrative service required
- Heavy emphasis on high quality research

Requirements
For post-doc posts:
- Ph.D. in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, language sciences or related
fields
- Fluent English (knowledge of Russian is not required)
- Demonstrated ability and high motivation to conduct high-quality research
publishable in quality international peer-reviewed journals

For PhD students:
- Master or similar degree in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, language
sciences or related fields
- Fluent English (knowledge of Russian is not required)
- High motivation to conduct high-quality interdisciplinary research in
international settings

Staff appointments are made for an initial 2,5-year period. Upon successful
completion of an interim review contracts are normally extended for three
more years, ultimately leading up to the tenure review. PhD posts are
funded for a fixed term of 3 years. Please provide your CV, a minimum of 2
recommendation letters, a statement of research interest, and an example of
