PhD Position in Neuroscience of Body Representation and Motivation in Neurorehabilitation
Vitznau – 100%, 3 years – Summer 2026 or upon mutual agreement.
The Neuroscience of Cognition and Motivation in Rehabilitation Lab (NeuroCoRe) of Prof. A. Luft at the Lake Lucerne Institute (LLUI) is dedicated to translating motivational and cognitive neuroscience into innovative approaches for neurorehabilitation. Our core research interest is to understand the neuronal and behavioral correlates of motivation. The MySpace Lab at the University of Lausanne of Prof. A. Serino investigates how the human brain builds a representation of the body in space, which is important for action and perception. To this aim, we use different techniques from cognitive neuroscience, including psychophysics, fMRI, intracranial EEG recording, neuropsychology, and neural network modeling, to study the multisensory mechanisms underlying the representation of Peripersonal Space (PPS). For a collaborative project between NeuroCoRe and MySpace Labs, we are looking for a motivated PhD student with a background in cognitive or computational neuroscience.
