*Postdoc and PhD student positions to study cognition in naturalistic settings* *Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland* *Job Description* The Brain and Cognition Lab at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, is excited to announce several upcoming job openings at different levels (postdoc and PhD) to work on the psychophysics and electrophysiology of cognition. These positions are funded by the National Science Center, Poland. We are seeking highly motivated candidates eager to investigate cognition using eye tracking, virtual reality (VR), electrophysiology, psychophysics, and advanced signal processing tools. Interested applicants should contact Marcin Leszczyński (marcin.leszczynski@uj.edu.pl) to discuss possibilities. *Lab Description* Successful candidates will join a dynamic research group at the Cognitive Science Center at Jagiellonian University, located in the heart of the beautiful city of Kraków. Our lab uses a variety of technologies, including scalp and intracranial electrophysiology, eye-tracking, VR, psychophysics, combined with advanced signal processing and machine learning, to study neural mechanisms of cognition in health and disease (see Google Scholar <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=O-mtQkIAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao>). We are interested in questions including neural mechanisms of perception, memory, mind wandering. Specifically, we aim to understanding why our minds wander and how sensory systems interact in naturally uncertain environments. We explore limits of attention capacity, and many more. To do so, we combine experiments in natural settings (e.g., VR or movie watching) with controlled laboratory experiments including psychophysics and advanced analytical tools like machine learning, signal processing, large language models and more. We offer a vibrant international research environment, with English as the working language. Our lab is located in the heart of the beautiful city of Kraków (ul. Ingardena), right next to a beautiful park (Park Jordana) and within walking distance of the Old Town square and several other tourist attractions. We encourage interested candidates to get in touch to discuss the opportunities available. The department provides excellent infrastructure, including supporting staff and state-of-the-art equipment for conducting experiments (e.g., behavioral laboratories, EEG, eye-tracking, and VR setups, fMRI, TMS). Additionally, motivated candidates will have the chance to participate in numerous collaborative and international projects with partners at Columbia University in New York City, Nathan Kline Institute and University Hospital in Bonn. *Requirements* - *Postdoc applicants* must hold, or expect to hold, a doctorate in Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or related disciplines. An ideal candidate will have experience designing, performing, analyzing, and disseminating psychophysics studies or experimental studies using eye tracking, VR, EEG, MEG, or LFPs. Motivated candidates with other relevant experience are also encouraged to apply. Ability to work independently and proficiency in English are essential (no need to speak Polish). - *PhD applicants* should have previous programming experience and a research interest in neuroscience, perception, attention, mind wandering, memory, eye movements, sensory-motor, or multi-sensory interactions. Previous experience in analyzing psychophysiological signals is an asset. Ability to work independently and proficiency in English are essential (no need to speak Polish). For further inquiries about the positions, please contact Marcin Leszczyński at marcin.leszczynski@uj.edu.pl. *Application Process* Interested candidates should send a 1) cover letter describing research interests and motivation to join our lab (max. 2 pages), 2) curriculum vitae, 3) two reference contacts to Marcin Leszczyński. The application will remain open until the positions are filled.
