Daniela Lopez de Luise Dear colleagues,
Please share widely.
The Multisensory Brain and Cognition Lab at the University of Waterloo, Canada is seeking postdoctoral applicants for a newly announced AMTD Waterloo Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship. The application deadline is March 16, 2020.
Information about and how to apply for this prestigious one or two year fellowship (funding includes a $75,000 annual salary, an engagement fund of $7,500 plus access to additional funds to create disruptive research dissemination opportunities) can be found here:
The Multisensory Brain and Cognition Lab has graduated a number of successful postdoctoral fellows and provides an enriching research environment for fellows to develop their own research programs related to multisensory processing, self-motion perception and action, aging, augmented and virtual reality. The lab is equipped with a 6 degree-of-freedom MOOG motion simulator, a high frequency ProPixx projector, multiple head mounted displays, motion capture, force plates, biopotential recording, and employs an array of techniques including psychophysics, computational modeling, galvanic vestibular stimulation, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, Electroencephalography, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
The incumbent will benefit from a multidisciplinary training and research environment spanning academia and industry. The lab is housed in the Department of Kinesiology and the Centre for Community, Clinical and Applied Research Excellence (CCCARE), which is a unique facility that integrates research and community programs to develop new health interventions related to exercise for health and disease prevention, nutrition and health, brain training, vascular and metabolic health, injury prevention, and maximizing of mobility and prevention of falls. The lab is also associated with The Games Institute, which conducts research into the past, present, and future of games with representation from all facilities.
Applicants interested in applying for the AMTD Waterloo Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship under the supervision of Lab Director Michael Barnett-Cowan should contact him directly at mbc@uwaterloo.ca.
