Offer Description
UIC offers a PhD contract in Cognitive Neuroscience to study how evoked and oscillatory brain activity sample sensory information in perceptual and higher order cognitive tasks. This research is implemented as part of the Ramón y Cajal (RyC) programme (similar to a tenure-track) program awarded to Dr. Diego Lozano-Soldevilla by the Agencia Española de Investigación (RYC2022-035526-I). The RyC is a highly competitive call aiming to integrate exceptional researchers into Spanish Research & Development centers.
UIC Barcelona is a prestigious university that currently welcomes more than 9,000 students. We offer a total of 16 official degrees, 30 double degrees, and a wide range of master's programs, postgraduate studies, and continuous training courses. We implement a research and knowledge transfer plan to contribute to the development of science, technology, and the improvement of quality of life. The university has 24 recognized research groups in the areas of Health Sciences and Engineering, Social and Legal Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and Architecture. Our state of the art EEG laboratory is based in the lively and beautiful Sant Cugat Campus, a calm city 30 mins train distance from Barcelona’s centre.
