The Proaction Laboratory at the University Coimbra Portugal is looking for Researchers at initial stages (post-PhD) of their career to be part of the lab in a joint competitive application to a Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) researcher call. The positions are as independent researchers in the Proaction Lab, are for 3 years, and the salary is the same as the Portuguese payroll for University Professors (net values for junior or assistant positions, for instance are approximately 1700 or 2100 euros net-value per month in a 14-month salary per year; these are competitive salaries for the cost of living in Portugal and especially in Coimbra). The Proaction Lab is currently very well funded as we have a set of on-going funded projects including a Starting Grant ERC to Jorge Almeida, a major European ERA Chair project to Jorge Almeida and Alfonso Caramzza, and other projects. We have access to a 3T MRI scanner with a 32-channel coil, to tDCS, and to a fully set psychophysics lab. We have a 256 ch EEG, motion tracking and eyetracking on site. We also have a science communication office dedicated to the lab. Finally, the University of Coimbra is a 700 year old University and has been selected as a UNESCO world Heritage site. Coimbra is one of the most lively university cities in the world, and it is a beautiful city with easy access to the beach and mountain.
