Master Opportunities
[2] We are continuously accepting new master students to get involved in ongoing projects or start new ideas – don’t hesitate to get in touch!
PhD Opportunities
Application packages should include: detailed CV, letter of motivation (incl. future professional wishes), prior published work/master thesis, recommendation letters/contact (unlimited #), copies of your diplomas (incl. grades and ranking)
PhD #1 Time Semantics (competitive with DGA by May 30 th)
PhD #2 Mental Models of Time (competitive with DGA by May 30 th)
PhD #3 WildTimes PhD (CEA/SNCF): Time, space, and duration are intertwined in our everyday life yet they are rarely studied together in ecological settings. This PhD project will focus on (temporal and spatial) cognition in humans when they are moving using mobile neuroimaging (electroencephalography, EEG). This project will contribute to the understanding of the representation of time in the human brain by empirically contrasting current theories on how the human brain maps time during complex trajectories, and will contribute to practical applications in collaboration with SNCF and IFSTTAR.
Requirements:
- Interest in temporal cognition and/or spatial navigation;
- Interest in doing rigorous science in ecological settings;
- Prior experience with psychophysics, human psychology, neurosciences, and/or electroencephalography;
- Basic programming skills a plus (Matlab/ Python);
- Mastery of French and English language in spoken and written form;
- Dynamic, reliable, can take initiatives, enthusiasm, willingness to learn and engage in an interdisciplinary consortium.
