Connectionists: PhD positions in Slovakia and USA

[Norbert Kopco]

PhD positions are available in Norbert Kopco’s Perception and Cognition 
Lab in the Institute of Computer Science at Safarik University in 
Kosice, Slovakia, for a Marie Curie EU-funded project on Spatial Audio 
Virtualization and Gamification for Hearing Assessment and Enhancement 
(https://pcl.upjs.sk/sav/). This is an international collaborative 
project, combining psychophysical, neuroimaging and computational 
methods to study and enhance the hearing abilities. As part of this 
project, the student would have the opportunity to work on behavioral, 
neuroimaging, and modeling of spatial and speech perception, and/or on 
modules for an auditory brain training game, and spend up to 12 months 
in the US with one or more of the grant collaborators (Erick Gallun at 
Oregon Health Science University, Aaron Seitz at Northeastern 
University,  Gin Best at Boston University; see project web 
https://pcl.upjs.sk/sav/ ). Interested candidates please contact 
norbert.kopco at upjs.sk with a CV and a research statement. Information 
about PhD student application procedures is available at 
https://www.upjs.sk/prirodovedecka-fakulta/en/doctoral-studies-admission/ 
and https://www.upjs.sk/en/faculty-of-science/foreign-students/ 
(deadline is 31 May 2026; flexible).
