We are looking for a Cognitive Neuroscientist to join our interdisciplinary research team focused on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying human cognition. This role involves designing and conducting experiments, analyzing neuroimaging and behavioral data, and publishing findings in peer-reviewed journals. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in neuroscience, psychology, or a related field, and experience with techniques such as fMRI, EEG, or MEG.
As a Cognitive Neuroscientist, you will work closely with other scientists, clinicians, and data analysts to explore topics such as memory, attention, language, decision-making, and perception. You will contribute to the development of new theories and models of brain function, and may also be involved in translational research aimed at improving mental health and neurological outcomes.
This position requires excellent analytical skills, proficiency in statistical and computational tools, and the ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to both academic and non-academic audiences. You should be comfortable working in a collaborative environment and be committed to advancing the field of cognitive neuroscience through rigorous and ethical research practices.
Key responsibilities include designing experimental protocols, recruiting and testing participants, processing and interpreting data, and writing grant proposals and scientific papers. You may also mentor junior researchers and contribute to teaching or public outreach activities.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and curious scientist to make meaningful contributions to our understanding of the human brain and cognition.
