Junior Postdoc Position: Sensorimotor Neuroscience

A 23-month postdoctoral appointment at 0.8 FTE in Pieter Medendorp’s sensorimotor research group at the Donders Institute. The project investigates perception, movement and decisions under uncertainty through behavioural experiments and computational models. Work combines multisensory integration, Bayesian modelling and optimal control with virtual reality, wearable sensors and motion platforms, including natural navigation, orienting and reaching. The preferred start is 1 December 2026. Responsibilities may include student supervision and teaching.

PhD in sensorimotor or computational neuroscience, human movement science, biomedical engineering, AI or a related discipline. Strong experimental and computational-modelling skills, experience with behavioural or patient studies, and good teamwork and communication are expected. Student-supervision experience is advantageous. Apply via the university’s recruitment button, addressing the application to Pieter Medendorp.
