One full-time postdoctoral researcher with a background in computational neuroscience, machine learning, or a related field will be hired for a three-year period. The researcher will work under the direct supervision of the Principal Investigator and will play a leading role in developing and implementing machine learning models for the decoding of bilingual speech and neural data.
Primary responsibilities will include developing and optimizing multimodal analysis pipelines integrating MEG and fMRI data, extracting and aligning linguistic features from transformer-based language models, and leading cross-language decoding analyses and model evaluation. The researcher will also contribute to data preprocessing, quality control, and documentation, and collaborate with other members of the project to integrate shared decoding frameworks and explainability tools.
The postdoctoral researcher is expected to take an active role in the conceptual development of the project, contribute to scientific publications, and present results at international conferences. Opportunities for supervision of junior researchers and involvement in grant-related activities may also be available.
The position offers advanced training in neuroimaging analysis, multilingual AI modeling, and multimodal data integration, within a highly interdisciplinary research environment. The contract is full time and includes an end-of-contract payout in accordance with institutional and funding regulations.
Postdoctoral researchers at the BCBL can acquire mentoring skills by co-supervising Master's and PhD students. Additionally, there is the opportunity to gain teaching experience on the BCBL's Master's program in the cognitive neuroscience of language.
Application deadline: 10 June 2026
