Junior Research Fellow & Research Assistant

This role is ideal for postgraduates holding an MSc in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, or Psychology, particularly those with a valid NET qualification for the JRF position. Candidates must possess practical experience in computer-based behavioural experiments, functional neuroimaging, fMRI data acquisition and analysis, and proficiency in relevant software like E Prime, Psychopy, MATLAB, and R. A working knowledge of conversational Hindi is essential, and experience with elderly populations is a plus.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are temporary, project-based positions initially for one year, extendable based on performance and fund availability. Candidates lacking specific technical experience in neuroimaging, data analysis, or the required software platforms will find this role unsuitable.

Working at the Centre of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences (CBCS) within the University of Allahabad, a central university, offers valuable research experience. The project is funded by the DST's Cognitive Science Research Initiative, indicating its national importance and contribution to advanced scientific research. These roles provide an excellent opportunity for early-career researchers to gain hands-on experience in a specialized and cutting-edge field of cognitive science, enhancing future academic and research prospects.
