The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) will soon open a call to hire full-time predoctoral researchers to carry out a PhD co-supervised by a CIMCYC member and a researcher of an international university. With this we aim to highlight the internationalization of our research activities and to support and strengthen core research lines at our center.
We will offer 3 positions in the research lines of Clinical Neuropsychology, Development, Individual Differences or Social Inequalities. Selected students will receive funding for 4 years to conduct a PhD in a project within one of these lines, and will be able to perform a research stay at the institution of their international co-supervisor.
