Description

The Perception and Active Cognition laboratory in the Center for Brain & Health, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on the mechanisms underlying mental processing speed.

The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project that links processing speed measures to previously acquired functional and structural MRI data. The project will also involve simultaneously acquired and co-registered fMRI and EEG measurements. Measures of cognitive “Speed of Processing” are important for studies of healthy aging and many disorders, including multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorders, dyslexia, and schizophrenia, as well as diabetes and obesity. This project investigates the neural correlates of Speed of Processing and its subcomponents, translating into a more complete understanding of the mechanisms involved and their role in brain health. This project combines MRI and EEG/MEG studies with behavioral, genetic, and clinical measures to yield a more complete picture of how processing speed is related to health outcomes. 

The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students. 

Applicants must have a PhD in psychology, cognitive neuroscience or a related field. Strong neuroimaging data processing skills relevant to the project are required. Applicant must have no more than five years post receipt of this degree are eligible for a postdoctoral appointment.

Right-wing&nbsp;leader&nbsp;Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule in Hungary has come to an end after his rival Péter Magyar won a two-thirds majority in the country’s general election.
Centre-right politician Magyar has promised to rebuild relations with Europe, tackle corruption and cronyism and restore academic freedom.
On this episode of News Talks, Campus editor Miranda Prynne talks to THE&nbsp;Europe reporter Seher Asaf about why the ousting of Orbán may provoke mixed feelings among Hungary’s academics, how the populist&nbsp;prime minister reshaped the country’s universities and why reversing the Fidesz-era policies may not be a simple matter.
The conversation also turns to what lessons the experience of Hungary’s universities might offer to other higher education systems around the world threatened with government hostility and interference.

Editor of Campus

Miranda Prynne

Oh? tell us what is "Orban's legacy" two days after he lost an election? Be serious. Please

Perhaps "legacy" was not the best choice of words, but I think the gist is fairly clear.
