- 🎓Fully-funded PhD studentship in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience!!! Join @seanfw.bsky.social and myself at @tcddublin.bsky.social for a PhD at the intersection of cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience (OPM-MEG) and neuro-AI. 🗓 Deadline: 5 Feb 2026 #neurojobs #neuroscience #compneuroJan 20, 2026 19:58
- Project: Cross-species mechanisms of evidence accumulation along prefrontal cortical gradients. Jointly supervised (50/50) by Dr Seán Froudist-Walsh and Prof. Konstantinos Tsetsos.
- Mice often integrate evidence optimally, while humans show recency biases. Are mice really better decision-makers—or do experiments engage different brain systems across species?
- This project develops a mechanistic cross-species account by studying how stimulus structure interacts with prefrontal cortical architecture, combining human OPM-MEG, anatomy-informed neuro-AI models, and comparative analyses.
- Training &Environment • Experimental design, acquisition, and analysis of human OPM-MEG experiments • Neuroanatomy and physiology - Analysing prefrontal gradients across species • Computational modelling of behaviour and neural circuits • Neuro-AI modelling integrating species-specific neuroanatomy
- Bonus: Research visits to the University of Oxford, where 50% of Sean's Cognition, Anatomy & Neural Networks lab is based. 🔗 Full details & how to apply: lnkd.in/ekrSTE9g We strongly encourage applications from candidates from low socioeconomic and under-represented backgrounds.
