🚀If interested and your profile ✨fits with some of the criteria above✨, email CV, short cover letter, and 2 referees to:
tsetsosk@tcd.ie
🚀Independent thinkers who want build new methods are especially encouraged. For neural profiles, autonomy in the OPM lab is encouraged and can be further strengthened through research visits to leading partner labs across Europe 🌍
🧠 Neural / experimental (RA/ PhD/ postdoctoral)
• systems & cognitive neuroscience expertise
• expertise in neural decoding
• hands-on MEG experience, understanding of OPM
💻 Computational (PhD/ postdoctoral)
• non-stationary cognitive modelling (lnkd.in/e7EF3cci)
• biophysical decision models
• time-series modelling
🚀To achieve the project’s goals, we want to push
✨✨✨✨single-trial decision neuroscience✨✨✨✨
to the next level (e.g., lnkd.in/e_pbEYgh)
🚀We therefore welcome researchers with demonstrable experience and academic excellence in any combination of the following:
🚀We welcome expressions of interest from:
• Research Assistants
• PhD applicants
• Postdoctoral researchers (IUA scale ~€45k–€65k, potentially €65k–€80k depending on experience)
• Senior researchers interested in shorter focused visits or collaborations ✈️
🚀Funded by @erc.europa.eu , the project relies on OPM-MEG experiments and computational modelling to understand the dynamics of human preferences.
🔎 The search is broadening -- and sharpening 🔎
🚀We continue to look for people interested in helping build something unique at the intersection of computational, behavioural, and neural sciences at @tcddublin.bsky.social

New paper on information sampling in multialternative choice, part of the ERC @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant "INFOSAMPLE".
One of projects emerging from the first semi-gigantic MEG dataset we collected as the "Irrationality" Lab in Hamburg, around COVID lockdowns.
Exciting PhD and postdoc opportunities on the cognitive neuroscience of language at Uni Geneva!!!
With special thanks to Christoph Korn and @sgluth.bsky.social for serving on the committee and ensuring everything ran so smoothly.
A seismic wave of applause marked the end of Maryam’s PhD journey, the end of the beginning. Congratulations Dr @maryamtohidi.bsky.social !!!
Maryam’s brother, who went the extra mile (in fact, miles) so that he could attend the defence online, crowned this moment with a few gentle and proud words, heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
At the end, surrounded by her friends, Maryam rose to reflect on the difficult days she and her family back in Iran had been through in the last few weeks.
Maryam breezed through her presentation with ease and answered some difficult questions with confidence (even used the whiteboard to sketch some answers!).
Last Thursday was a day that will be hard to forget.
Despite the characteristically cold Hanseatic morning, the lecture theatre at the UKE was buzzing with people who came to watch Maryam Tohidi, my very first PhD student, defending her work.
Bonus: Research visits to the University of Oxford, where 50% of Sean's Cognition, Anatomy & Neural Networks lab is based.

We strongly encourage applications from candidates from low socioeconomic and under-represented backgrounds.
Training &Environment
• Experimental design, acquisition, and analysis of human OPM-MEG experiments
• Neuroanatomy and physiology - Analysing prefrontal gradients across species
• Computational modelling of behaviour and neural circuits
• Neuro-AI modelling integrating species-specific neuroanatomy
This project develops a mechanistic cross-species account by studying how stimulus structure interacts with prefrontal cortical architecture, combining human OPM-MEG, anatomy-informed neuro-AI models, and comparative analyses.
Mice often integrate evidence optimally, while humans show recency biases. Are mice really better decision-makers—or do experiments engage different brain systems across species?
Project: Cross-species mechanisms of evidence accumulation along prefrontal cortical gradients.
Jointly supervised (50/50) by Dr Seán Froudist-Walsh and Prof. Konstantinos Tsetsos.
