How does the developing brain shape the way we learn and feel? And how can that knowledge help us optimize education and child health care? At Maastricht University, the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience group is addressing exactly these questions. We're looking for an enthusiastic colleague to help us push the field forward. Tenure-Track Assistant Professor position in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Our goal: Our Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience (DCN) section investigates behavioral and brain mechanisms underlying cognitive, language, socio-emotional, and sensorimotor development from infancy to adulthood, and how these mechanisms shape individual differences in learning, behaviour, and mental health. Your colleagues: Our lab is embedded in the Cognitive Neuroscience (CN) department at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience (FPN), Maastricht University. You will join an international and collaborative research community of around 50 permanent staff members and 60 temporary staff (PhD candidates and postdocs). Together, we work across dedicated research lines aimed at understanding and modelling the neural mechanisms and trajectories of cognition, behaviour, and development. The CN department offers an environment that combines cutting-edge methodological approaches-integrating neuroimaging (EEG, ECoG, fMRI, fNIRS), high-precision behavioural tracking (eye-tracking and motion-capture), neuromodulation (NIBS, neurofeedback), and computational modelling. We take an active translational approach, enabling direct impact on healthcare and education. For example, the "Brain and Language" team within the DCN section develops educational neuroscience applications, including digital tools for the early prediction and intervention of reading problems.
