About the Project: 

This project is funded by the European Research Council Synergy Programme (acronym:  JUSTICE)

These posts will focus on the social and cognitive neuroscience of how groups come to accept, resist, or normalise coercive practices during investigative interviewing. We will explore the neural, psychological, and social mechanisms underlying the decisions people make around coercive interviewing practices, and we will examine these processes in the context of small group interactions. There will also be important opportunities to work collaboratively with our other partners in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands on these projects.

Useful background will be found in Why Torture Doesn’t Work: The Neuroscience of Interrogation by Shane O'Mara

The work will involve:
fNIRS hyperscanning to assay brain function 
investigations of deliberative groups and decision-making under pressure 
a focus on silence, dissent, conformity, responsibility diffusion, and status effects within groups 
multimodal experiments combining neural, behavioural, physiological, and speech data
close collaboration with AI/speech-analysis colleagues on conversational turning points

These are up to five-year positions, with excellent lab facilities, strong ERC support, and an exceptional international network.

We are especially interested in hearing from candidates who are strongest in one area, but genuinely excited to work across several. This is not a narrow single-method role; it is an opportunity to help build a new research domain.

We are especially interested in applicants with strong backgrounds in one or more of the following:

social or cognitive neuroscience 
fNIRS, EEG, or related neurophysiology and/or fMRI/MEG
hyperscanning or group interaction research

advanced statistics or signal processing 
speech, language, or multimodal data analysis 
moral cognition, social psychology, or decision science 

 

The Centre for Ocean Energy Research (COER) at Maynooth University, Ireland has a further opportunity for a well-qualified applicant on a prestigious, new Science Foundation Ireland ocean energy project:

Instant Force & Model Predictive Control for Ocean Energy Power take-off with high Fidelity (INFINITY)

The INFINITY project aims to advance wave energy in Europe by developing a more efficient, reliable Power Take Off (PTO) system and control technology. Building on past projects, it focuses on designing durable systems, using advanced controls to adapt to wear and tear, and supporting a circular supply chain. With Operations & Maintenance (O&M) making up 30% of costs, INFINITY emphasizes reliability and predictive maintenance to extend service intervals from 2 to 5 years and cut costs by 50%. These innovations aim to overcome barriers to wave energy adoption, making it more practical, cost-effective, and a viable renewable energy source.

The project team is composed of leading academic and industry collaborators from: RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Ocean Harvesting Technologies, Politecnico di Torino, The Technical University Denmark etc.

This project is funded through the EU’s Clean Energy Transition Partnership with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, and the successful candidate will join a group of around 30 postdoctoral, PhD and other researchers in COER, who work on the development of wave energy technology, with projects funded from various national and international sources. COER has a wide range of eminent industrial and academic collaborators.
