RESEARCH FELLOW POSITION at the BCBL- Basque Center on
Cognition Brain and Language (San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain) www.bcbl.eu (Center of excellence Severo Ochoa)
The Basque Center on Cognition Brain and Language (San
Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain) offers research fellow positions in three
main broad areas or research:
(1)-Language, reading and developmental disorders: How
language acquisition, comprehension, production, and reading take place in the
human brain. Special attention will be paid to language disorders and the
development of computerized tools for their early diagnosis and treatment.
(2)-Multilingualism and second language learning: The
cognitive and brain mechanisms of language acquisition and processing in a
second language, taking into consideration the age of acquisition, proficiency
and usage. Special attention will be paid to multilingualism within the school
system and to the development of new educational technologies for second
language learning.
(3)- Neurodegeneration, brain damage and healthy aging:
Language and Cognition: Early cognitive and brain markers related to language
for neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer, Parkinson); neural plasticity and
language functions through brain stimulation in the awake patient during
surgical brain operations; developing of computerized diagnostic and training
tools for aphasic patients and neurodegenerative diseases.
The Center promotes a rich research environment without
substantial teaching obligations. It provides access to the most advanced
behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, including 3 Tesla MRI, a whole-head MEG
system, four ERP labs, a NIRS lab, a baby lab including an eyetracker, two
eyetracking labs, and several well-equipped behavioral labs. There are excellent technical support staff
and research personnel (PhD and postdoctoral students).
We are looking for cognitive neuroscientists or
experimental psychologists with a background in psycholinguistics and/or
neighboring cognitive neuroscience areas, computational modelers, and
physicists and/or engineers with fMRI/MEG expertise.
These five year Fellowships are directed to promising
young researchers; they are intended to offer a track towards a PI role and
independent research. The selected Fellows should be able to acquire the
necessary skills for a research leader role. Ikerbasque is committed to offer a
long-term career to the research community.
The applicants must have their PhD completed between
1/1/2006 and 31/12/2014.
Applications from women are especially welcomed. The
