Dear All,
Please circulate the following call for applications. The deadline is 30 June 2016.
Thank you!
The Social Mind and Body Group (Somby) at Central European University (CEU), Budapest,
invites applications for post-doctoral research positions. The positions are funded
through three different ERC grants (ERC Consolidator grant on “Joint action expertise:
behavioral, cognitive, and neural mechanisms for joint action learning” led by Prof.
Natalie Sebanz; ERC Synergy grant on “Constructing social minds: coordination,
communication, and cultural transmission”, led by Prof. Günther Knoblich; ERC Starting
Grant on “The Sense of Commitment: An Integrative Framework for Modeling the Sense of
Commitment“, led by Asst. Prof. John Michael).
The Social Mind and Body Group<https://socialmind.ceu.edu/node/22> is an
international, English speaking team of scientists and staff from eight different
countries, currently comprising five postdocs, three lab managers, eight PhD students, and
three senior faculty. Our common research interest is to study the role of perceptual,
motor, and cognitive processes in social interaction, with a special focus on joint
action. The Social Mind and Body Group is part of the Department of Cognitive Science at
Central European University which offers an advanced study program (PhD only) and has a
specialization in the social nature of human cognition and action.
Prospective candidates should hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in Cognitive Psychology,
Cognitive (neuro-) science, Social Cognition, Music Cognition or a related field.
Programming skills (Matlab, Python, E-Prime, Presentation etc.) are highly desirable.
Experience with running and analyzing eye tracking and motion tracking experiments, EEG
experiments, and studies of music performance is also desirable.
The positions are available for 2 years with the possibility of extension. Compensation
will be commensurate with experience. We offer a competitive salary (comparable to
salaries for post-doc positions in the US or UK), and a dynamic environment with state of
the art facilities, international collaborations, and innovative research.
