[Eeglablist] Fully-funded PhD position in Decision Neuroscience

[Peter Murphy]

A fully-funded 4-year PhD position (€25,000 per annum stipend) is available
to work in the laboratory of Assistant Professor Peter Murphy, in the
Hamilton Institute and Department of Psychology at Maynooth University,
Ireland. The anticipated start date is September/October 2026.

The successful candidate will lead a project combining human
neurophysiology with recurrent neural network modelling to investigate the
neural and computational basis for making decisions abstracted from
sensation and action. The project will run in collaboration with Prof.
Redmond O’Connell at Trinity College Dublin and Dr. Seán Froudist-Walsh at
University of Oxford/Trinity College Dublin and the successful candidate
will be embedded within this wider research team.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrable interest in the cognitive
neuroscience of decision-making, strong quantitative/computational skills,
and experience in at least one of the following: neural network modelling,
psychophysics with human participants, and EEG.
