Dear all,
Apologies for multiple postings, but this is an important update regarding the PhD position(s) described below and in my previous email.
APPLICATIONS MUST NOW BE SUBMITTED VIA:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open PhD Position(s) in Perception/EEG – Joint Opportunity
Locations: Lausanne (University of Lausanne / CHUV) and Paris (ENS/CNRS)
Start Date: Early 2026 (with some flexibility)
The Psychophysics and Neural Dynamics Lab (David Pascucci, University of Lausanne and Lausanne University Hospital, CHUV) and the Laboratoire des Systèmes Perceptifs (Pascal Mamassian, ENS/CNRS) invite applications for a fully funded PhD position (3 years + 1) supported by the ANR-SNSF Weave project.
Perceptual FLUCTUATions
Our 4-year project addresses a central question:
Why do individuals differ in how their perceptual judgments are shaped by temporal context?
We will address this through an integrated behavioural, computational, and neurophysiological approach, focusing on the interaction between endogenous perceptual traits and external factors.
The work involves visual psychophysics, EEG, and computational modeling. The successful candidate will be primarily based in Lausanne, with research visits to ENS/CNRS, allowing engagement with two complementary research environments.
Applicants should hold a Master’s degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Biology, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field. Experience in visual psychophysics and/or EEG is strongly valued.
· Psychophysics software (e.g., PsychoPy, Psychtoolbox)
· Programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C/C++)
· EEG and/or signal processing, computational modeling
· Statistical analysis (e.g., in R)
· Dedication to data collection in task batteries
We seek dedicated, enthusiastic candidates with strong motivation to contribute to interdisciplinary research.
We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and genders.
Please follow the instructions provided here:

We value application materials that reflect your own words and authentic, human-written motivation.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
Early applications are encouraged to accommodate the planned start in early 2026.
Please note:
We are also planning to recruit postdoctoral researchers in the near future, so stay tuned!
We look forward to hearing from you!
