We invite applications for a (PhD/MA) Scholarship grantee/Student/PhD student position in the NCN Opus 30 project:

Standardization of source-based directed connectivity analysis using large EEG/MEG datasets. Analysis of intrinsic brain networks associated with cognitive control.

The project has two consecutive goals:

1. The optimization and standardization of the directed connectivity analysis on MEG/EEG signals, using the existing ASCT toolbox: http://www.atlantis.psychologia.uj.edu.pl.

2. Application of the optimized method to infer the dynamics of large-scale brain networks during involvement of cognitive control

The optimization will use a dual approach, where firstly, multiple simulations of brain sources will be performed to verify how well our analytic method can detect the internal brain information flow embedded in previously prepared signals. Secondly, large available datasets recorded during well-established psychological tasks will be analyzed. As some of the neural mechanisms associated with these tasks are well recognized and theoretically elaborated, we will tune our analytic method to improve the detectability of these effects.

In the second stage of the project, large cognitive control datasets will be reanalyzed with an optimized analytic pipeline to describe the temporal dynamics and interactions between large-scale brain networks, including the salience and the frontoparietal networks. These networks help us detect conflicts and adjust our attention and behavior.

Any inquiries and applications should be sent by email to:

Information on the Processing of Personal Data
- under the call for proposals procedure and the agreement for the implementation of research and the payment of a scholarship awarded by the National Science Centre -

Pursuant to Article 13 of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter: GDPR), Jagiellonian University informs that:
1. The Controller of your personal data is Jagiellonian University, ul. Gołębia 24, 31-007 Kraków, represented by the JU Rector.

2. Jagiellonian University has appointed a Data Protection Officer at ul. Gołębia 24, 30-007 Kraków, room No. 31. The Officer can be contacted by email: iod@uj.edu.pl or by phone at 12 663 12 25.

Your personal data will be processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the RODO, for the purpose necessary to carry out the call for proposals procedure for the scholarship, awarding of research scholarships in research projects funded by the National Science Centre, and, if selected for the position of scholarship holder, in connection with the conclusion of an agreement for the payment of the research scholarship and activities related to the receipt of the research scholarship on the basis of the Regulations for awarding NCN scholarships for NCN-funded research projects, the agreement for the implementation and funding of the research project „Standardization of source-based directed connectivity analysis using large EEG/MEG datasets. Analysis of intrinsic brain networks associated with cognitive control.”(hereinafter the ‘Project’), for which the call for proposals is being held for the post of scholarship holder.

3. The provision of your personal data is voluntary but necessary in order to participate in the call for proposals procedure and, in the case of a scholarship award, is a condition for the conclusion and execution of the scholarship payment agreement.

4. The recipients of your personal data will be: The National Science Centre with its registered office in Kraków, entities assessing or controlling the proper implementation of the project within the framework of which the agree-ment was concluded, auditors acting in accordance with the law or to whom Jagiellonian University commissioned an audit, institutions such as the Supreme Chamber of Control, the competent tax office and the Social Insurance Institution, other entities entitled to obtain data on the basis of the law and the research project funding agreement concluded with the National Science Centre.

5. Your personal data shall not be transferred to third countries (outside the EEA) or international organisations. However, suppose your data in the recruitment process is submitted to Jagiellonian University electronically.
