Exciting PhD & Postdoc Positions at Maastricht University and CNRS Marseille – Join the ERC-Synergy NASCE Project!

Are you passionate about neuroscience and AI? Do you want to unravel how the human brain makes sense of everyday soundscapes? Join <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAABIzWMMB26hKQDKmkAauU86UR27jk8MEaK0> Elia Formisano<https://www.linkedin.com/in/elia-formisano-05731a86/> and <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAFyNeAB_dTvI-9M7P3WdPYRnzO7c9v5JXY> Bruno L. Giordano<https://www.linkedin.com/in/brungio/> in the ERC-Synergy NASCE project (Natural Auditory SCEnes in Humans and Machines), where we explore the neural computations behind real-world auditory scene analysis (ASA).

Our research combines AI, behavioral experiments (both classic and online), neuroimaging (ultra-high-field fMRI, MEG, iEEG), and advanced statistical modeling to develop groundbreaking theories and models of auditory perception. Funded by the European Union (ERC-2024-SyG, NASCE)

Why Join NASCE?

  *   Work in a leading, highly collaborative international research environment between Maastricht University, and CNRS/Aix Marseille University.
  *   Contribute to groundbreaking research at the intersection of neuroscience, AI, and cognitive psychology.
  *   Access to state-of-the-art multimodal neuroimaging and AI-based computational modeling.
