ESCoP is a dynamic scientific society that provides a venue within which current research in cognitive psychology and neighboring disciplines can be presented, discussed and encouraged.
ESCOP promotes new research initiatives, supports a European research-base through summer school programmes in which students can learn about state-of-the-art developments, holds conferences for the presentation of research and maintains a leading academic journal as an outlet for research findings. You are welcome to explore this website and the resources that are held here.

ESCoP is a large and growing organisation with a healthy membership base in most European countries and around the world. Membership has many benefits, including a Reduced Author Processing Charge for publishing in the Journal of Cognition, access to ESCOP’s award and funding programmes and a reduced fee for attending ESCoP conferences.
Open for submissions
We are looking for a postdoc joining the Cognition Team, headed by Klaus Oberauer. We work on the capacity limits of cognition, in particular working memory, long-term memory, and attention, using behavioral experiments, individual differences, and computational modelling.
Dear colleagues, we are conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis with two research questions: 1. Does holistic face processing differ between same-race and cross-race faces?; 2. Does holistic processing predict the magnitude of the cross-race recognition deficit (i.e., other-race effect, own-race bias)? For this question, we are looking for null, inconclusive, pilot, and otherwise unpublished findings, regardless of the direction or statistical significance of the results, provided that the study meets the criteria.
We seek highly motivated candidates with a background in Psychology/Computer Science/Engineering/Cognitive Neuroscience, with interests in human brain imaging and neurofeedback technologies. The RA will have the opportunity to contribute to all stages of the research, including experimental design, data collection, and the development of neurofeedback analysis pipelines.
Application deadline: 8 October 2026
