[Eeglablist] PhD offer at ONERA and INT in the south of France: decoding perceptual confidence with EEG and eye-tracking

[Andrea Desantis]

Hi!

A fully funded PhD position is available at the ONERA and INT in the 
south of France (deadline 31/05/2024)

​The successful candidates will join the Cognitive Engineering and 
Applied Neurosciences (ICNA) group. The ICNA is a highly 
interdisciplinary research unit at the ONERA in Salon-de-Provence, with 
expertise in applied mathematics, engineering, cognitive sciences and 
human factors. It is a very dynamic group composed of 13 permanent 
researchers, 10 PhD students, 3 post-docs and several interns. The 
working languages are French and English. The student will also be 
affiliated to the Institut de Neuroscience de la Timone (INT) in 
Marseille, where some of the studies will be conducted.

​The applicant will work on studies of perceptual decision-making and 
confidence. The aim of the PhD is to decode perceptual confidence from 
EEG signals and eye-tracking data. Research methods include 
psychophysics, EEG and eye-tracking. The project is a collaborative 
effort with 8 other labs throughout Europe. See 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.google.com/view/confidentdecisions/__;!!Mih3wA!DpxEwp8jRROc23M0IYrZd6nmZ1i1hw8mZED5WeCun8j_I06g55JandiWYCqVlC0uQnZZ5vJH83e-ELnGO4K-vAMSocxwHSjH$  for more information. 
S/he will be supervised by Dr. Andrea Desantis, Dr Kobe Desender (KU 
Leuven), Dr Guillaume Masson (CNRS researcher at INT) and will work in 
collaboration with other members of the ICNA team.

​The successful candidate will receive interdisciplinary training in 
theories and methods for the study of decision confidence. This includes 
many network-wide events and other (international) training 
opportunities.

​Candidates should have a Master's degree (or equivalent) in 
neuroscience, computer science, cognitive science, or related fields. 
Previous experience with computer programming is highly preferred. 
Experience with psychophysics, EEG, eye-tracking, and/or machine 
learning is a plus.

​Candidates must comply with the Marie Curie Actions rule for mobility, 
which holds that they have spent no more than 12 months of the past 3 
years in France.

​To apply, please send CV, a cover letter summarizing your research 
experience/interests, transcripts, and contact information for two 
references to: andrea.desantis (at) onera.fr

​Starting date: October 2024

​Kind regards

Andrea
