Call for Expressions of Interest

We invite early-career postdoctoral researchers to submit an Expression of Interest to jointly apply for the Juan de la Cierva 2026 Postdoctoral Grants, funded by the Spanish State Research Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación – AEI).

We seek researchers who are genuinely motivated by research on human perception and attention, with special emphasis on multisensory processes, from an experimental or computational perspective. Demonstrated experience (i.e., research outputs) on these areas is required.

Overview

• Position: Postdoctoral Research Fellow (3-Year Full-Time Contract, 36 months).
• Salary: Gross annual salary of €31,200.
• Research areas of interest: We are particularly interested in candidates with a demonstrated background and keen research interest in cognitive or computational neuroscience, especially in the area of human perception, attention, and multisensory processes. Candidates with experience in neuroimaging (EEG), biosignal processing, cognitive / neural data modeling, are strongly encouraged to apply.

Key Eligibility Criteria

• PhD obtained between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2026. Extensions apply for documented career interruptions or disability.
• Mobility: The candidate must apply to join a center different from the one they carried out their predoctoral training in.

Teaching Contribution

This position is co-funded by the Engineering department, and candidates must be prepared to contribute 40h/year to undergraduate teaching in core engineering subjects. Candidates must fill out a teaching preference form indicating at least 6 core subjects across departmental categories (e.g., Programming & Algorithms, Maths & Physics, Artificial Intelligence, Signal & Biomedical Image Processing, Data Science, Computer Systems). The complete document is here.

If you are interested…

1. Check full eligibility criteria from the official call, have demonstrable experience in the research areas of interest, and that your background is consistent with the teaching contribution*.

2. Email your EoI to applications.mrglab@gmail.com earlier than Nov 15^th 2026 including:

• CV: Can be in free format at this point.
• Teaching Preference: Selection of 6 preferred Engineering core subjects and language capabilities.
• Brief Research Statement (1 page): Outline of past achievements, skillset, and research interests.

3. Based on EoIs received, we will select one candidate to sponsor the full application. (Official deadline at funding institution: 26 November 2026 14:00 CET; We will support the candidate in the application process).

*We may not be able to answer applications that deviate from these baseline checks
