The ERC-funded project MyFirstBody aims to investigate the ontogenetic development of bodily-self representation by translating from a neuropsychological to a developmental perspective.

Our new line of research focuses on the implicit signatures of bodily-self representation emergence in prenatal (with studies on foetuses) and postnatal (with studies on newborns and infants) life in normal and pathological (i.e., congenital and acquired motor deprivation) contexts.

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to design studies, collect and analyse data from the MyFisrtBody experiments, employing psychophysiological techniques in our developmental and adult populations.

We have one three-year full-time position starting approximately in November 2024.

If you are interested in our research topics and this position, we kindly ask you to send your CV to hr.manibus@gmail.com. A reference letter is also appreciated.

Our new line of research focuses on the implicit signatures of bodily-self representation emergence in prenatal (with studies on foetuses) and postnatal (with studies on newborns and infants) life by taking advantage of several psychophysiological techniques such as sonographic scans, EEG, fNIRS and fMRI.

We are looking for postdocs with solid expertise in the fMRI and/or fNIRS field to design studies, collect and analyse data from the experiments employing these techniques in our developmental and adult populations.

We have two open positions starting approximately in March 2024: one is a one-year contract, and one is a two-year contract.
