KU Leuven & Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), Belgium

We are seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to join the interdisciplinary IBAT project: The Insular Basis of Thermoception and Social Cognition. This ambitious study explores the role of the insular cortex in thermoception and socio-emotional processing, using a combination of intracerebral EEG (iEEG), task-based fMRI, and behavioral assessments in patients with epilepsy and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct advanced fMRI analyses, including multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) and functional connectivity.
  • Collaborate closely with the team to integrate iEEG and behavioral data for multimodal insights.
  • Contribute to participant recruitment and data collection at both KU Leuven and UCLouvain.
  • Prepare manuscripts for high-impact journals and present findings at international conferences.
  • Foster collaboration between the two host institutions.

Profile:

  • PhD in neuroscience, psychology, biomedical engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong expertise in task-based fMRI, with hands-on experience in MVPA or similar advanced techniques.
  • Familiarity with interoception, thermoception, or socio-emotional processing research is an asset.
  • Experience with integrating multimodal data (e.g., fMRI and EEG) is highly desirable.
  • Demonstrated ability to publish in high-impact journals.
  • Willingness to work part-time at KU Leuven and part-time at UCLouvain.
  • Proficiency in Dutch or French is a plus

What We Offer:

  • A dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment with access to state-of-the-art imaging facilities, including high-field MRI scanners and intracerebral EEG systems.
  • The opportunity to work in a collaborative team combining expertise in neuroimaging, clinical neuropsychology, and systems neuroscience.
  • Funding for travel to international conferences and participation in training workshops.
  • A competitive salary and benefits package, aligned with the guidelines of KU Leuven and UCLouvain.

Closing date application: March 1st, 2025.

Start date: as soon as a suitable candidate is selected.

For more information, contact prof. dr. Jan Van den Stock (jan.vandenstock@kuleuven.be) or prof. Dr. Giulia Liberati (giulia.liberati@uclouvain.be).
