The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, conducting, and
analyzing experiments and will work as part of a multidisciplinary research
team. Projects will focus on understanding the interactions between
emotion/motivation and executive function/sensory processing. The position
offers excellent training in advanced aspects of neuroimaging data analysis,
including connectivity analysis, machine learning, and other multivariate
analysis techniques. For further information, please contact Luiz Pessoa at
