Dear EEGLAB community,

We would like to share two research opportunities that may be of interest to members of the EEGLAB community. 

Full details about the two positions, eligibility requirements, and application process are provided below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Job offer (1) Postdoctoral Researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience 
 
The Human Neuroscience Lab (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wpd.ugr.es/*humneuro/__;fg!!Mih3wA!Fy6Pl1hnQp7jn6OZ0FWdIvUTy-1Tj188ksJ0ouRy-wRiapIzp9vOR6QZIs9fG73Fxw57I2yTY7rDmvahC0Y5SrCZEA$ ) of the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC, https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cimcyc.ugr.es/en__;!!Mih3wA!Fy6Pl1hnQp7jn6OZ0FWdIvUTy-1Tj188ksJ0ouRy-wRiapIzp9vOR6QZIs9fG73Fxw57I2yTY7rDmvahC0ZmGqtUog$ ) in Granada (Spain) is looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience. Starting time is flexible, ideally Jan 2027.
 
The position will be funded for 1 year (with possibility for extension of an additional year) to work in studies aimed at characterizing the role of prediction and task relevance in neural information coding (funded throgh the grant ref. PID2025-171459NB-I00 from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities).
 
Applicants are required to:
·       Hold a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience or related fields.
·       Have proven experience with behavioral task design, fMRI and/or M/EEG neuroimaging. 
·       Have strong programming skills and familiarity with multivariate analyses.
·       Show ability to successfully take research projects to completion and collaborate in teams.
 
Our lab offers a collaborative and international research environment with access to neuroimaging equipment (research-dedicated 3T Prisma scanner, high-density EEG, TMS, eye-trackers) and extensive experience in advanced analysis methods, including multivariate decoding. It is part of CIMCYC, a renowed university research center located in the beautiful city of Granada (close to the ski station of Sierra Nevada and to the beach, with a friendly culture and amazing gastronomy) that holds a prestigious Maria de Maeztu seal of excellence (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cimcyc.ugr.es/en/research/maria-maeztu-unit-excellence__;!!Mih3wA!Fy6Pl1hnQp7jn6OZ0FWdIvUTy-1Tj188ksJ0ouRy-wRiapIzp9vOR6QZIs9fG73Fxw57I2yTY7rDmvahC0a-FDpsTw$ ).
 
Interested researchers with relevant qualifications should get in touch with Maria Ruz (mruz at ugr.es <mailto:mruz at ugr.es>) sending please a brief CV and explaining their motivation (preferably without GenAI input!) for joining the lab. 
 
 
Job offer (2) Predoctoral Researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience
 
The Human Neuroscience Lab (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wpd.ugr.es/*humneuro/__;fg!!Mih3wA!Fy6Pl1hnQp7jn6OZ0FWdIvUTy-1Tj188ksJ0ouRy-wRiapIzp9vOR6QZIs9fG73Fxw57I2yTY7rDmvahC0Y5SrCZEA$ ) of the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC, https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cimcyc.ugr.es/en__;!!Mih3wA!Fy6Pl1hnQp7jn6OZ0FWdIvUTy-1Tj188ksJ0ouRy-wRiapIzp9vOR6QZIs9fG73Fxw57I2yTY7rDmvahC0ZmGqtUog$ ) in Granada (Spain) is looking to hire a predoctoral student to do a thesis in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience. 
 
The position will be funded for 4 years within the context of the project “Characterizing the role of prediction and task relevance in neural information coding “(funded throgh the grant ref. PID2025-171459NB-I00 from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities). Starting time may vary from April to Sept 2027.
 
We are looking for a person highly motivated to learn and contribute with research about the neural basis of human cognition. The selected PhD student will receive theoretical and practical training in Cognitive Neuroscience, including experimental task design, programming (e.g. Matlab, Python, JAVA), behavioral and neuroimaging (fMRI and EEG) data acquisition from humans, univariate and multivariate analyses, dissemination (academic papers and conferences), open science and outreach activities for the non-expert public. There will also be opportunities to conduct research stays in other international labs. Previous experience with either of these activities will be considered a plus for the position.
 
Applicants should have:
·       A completed undergraduate degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Signal Engineering, Physics, Biology or related fields (either 180 or 240 ECTS or equivalent).
·       A master degree (120 or 60 ECTS or equivalent) in an area relevant for the topics of the project. Students who are currently enrolled to finish in the 2026/27 academic year will also be considered.
