***Post-doctoral and PhD positions in Cognitive Neuroscience and
Psychology at the Center for Cognition and Decision Making, Higher
School of Economics, Moscow***
The Faculty of Psychology, Higher School of Economics (HSE, Moscow) is
pleased to announce a number of new post-doctoral and PhD posts at
Cognitive Control, Communication and Perception Laboratory
(
http://www.hse.ru/en/cdm-centre/CCCP). Research topics include: neural
dynamics of language comprehension and production, cognitive control in
communication, sensory-motor integration, embodied cognition, numeracy,
interactions between domain-specific and domain-general cognitive
systems, language acquisition, communication deficits (e.g. aphasia), etc.
The laboratory is a structural part of the HSE’s Centre for Cognition &
Decision Making (

research groups at HSE, within Russia, and internationally. Research
facilities include multi-channel EEG, navigated TMS-EEG, behavioural,
and eye-tracking equipment. The Center also provides access to MEG, fMRI
and a range of neurological populations. This new international lab
operates in tight collaboration with the Centre of Functionally
Integrative Neuroscience at Aarhus University (Denmark), Psychology
Department at Northumbria University Newcastle (UK), and other
international research centres. The post holders will have an advantage
of being able to further define and expand the laboratory’s research
programme.
