About this position
How does physical exercise change the brain — and can EEG help us personalize exercise to maximize its cognitive and emotional benefits?
The Psychophysiology Laboratory at the Institute of Psychology, Jagiellonian University in Kraków, invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the NCN-funded project “The Fit Brain: A Novel Approach to Understanding and Maximizing the Mental Benefits of Exercise”.
The project investigates the mechanisms through which physical exercise influences brain functioning, cognitive processes, and psychological well-being. A central goal is to develop and test a novel approach to individualizing physical exercise based on indices of brain activity.
The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary research team working at the intersection of psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychophysiology, EEG methodology, and exercise science. The project will involve EEG recordings before, during, and after physical exercise, cognitive and emotional tasks, psychophysiological measurements, and advanced analysis of experimental and longitudinal data.
The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to study planning and coordination, EEG data acquisition and analysis, development of preprocessing and analysis pipelines, statistical modelling, preparation of scientific publications, conference presentations, and scientific support of junior team members.
This is an excellent opportunity for a researcher interested in advanced EEG analysis, brain–body interactions, and the cognitive and emotional benefits of physical activity.
