Os reenviamos un mensaje sobre una plaza postdoctoral en el Causal Cognition Group (CCG) de la Universidad de Málaga.

La Junta Directiva de la SEPEX


The Causal Cognition Group (CCG) is offering a full-time postdoctoral research position co-funded by two research grants: One of them is associated with a research project headed by Francisco J. López, and the other is associated with a research project headed by Pedro L. Cobos, both of them affiliated to the Universidad de Málaga (UMA) (Spain). Candidates will have to concurrently apply for both part-time positions, which, in practice, would be equivalent to a full-time position at UMA. In other terms, we will not consider applications for only one position because we will only choose a single candidate for both positions.

The postdoctoral researcher will carry out different tasks such as programming for both in-lab and online experiments in Psychology (avoidance and fear learning experiments), registering physiological measures (EEG and skin conductance responses), statistical analysis of behavioural and physiological data, or manuscript writing. Candidates considering to apply should have some command of Psychopy, Python, E-prime, Matlab or R. Both projects are part of a collaborative research effort of the CCG research team with David Luque at UAM, and Bram Vervliet (UK Leuven). The expected time frame is one year with a possible extension to six additional months.

We expect the job starting date to be July 1st, 2021.

IMPORTANT: The curriculum vitae should include a cover letter/statement describing your research interests (4000 characters max), and contact details for two referees (we’ll contact them if short-listed). Please, note that the deadline to apply for the UMA position is 21 May, 2021.

Short-listed candidates will be interviewed in June 2021 (online).
