Lyon, France
26-28 August 2026

EWOMS is a recurring, high-profile event dedicated to the study of working memory, held every two years at rotating European locations. The 11th edition will take place in Lyon, France, from August 26th to 28th, 2026. The 2026 theme — Working Memory, Strategy, and Consciousness — aims to bridge traditional cognitive perspectives and neuroscientific approaches to working memory (WM). We will explore how strategic control processes, awareness, and unconscious mechanisms interact to shape WM performance.

We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join Dr Angela de Bruin's research group in the Department of Psychology at the University of York. The Research Associate would be working on a project funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the UK government's Horizon Europe funding Guarantee for selected ERC grants, examining multilingual language control and use in younger and older adults. The current part of the project aims to understand how context, in particular the conversation partner's language behavior, influences how multilinguals of different ages produce and use their languages.
