Postdoc Position: Sensorimotor Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Technology at the Donders Institute

As a junior postdoctoral researcher you will participate in a consortium project called ’Smart technologies for personalised home care for neurological paediatric patients (RE:HOME)’. This project, involving partners from France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, is funded by Interreg North-West Europe (NWE), a European Territorial Cooperation programme contributing to a better quality of life and well-being of all NWE citizens. The aim of the RE:HOME project is to build and test a rehabilitation platform that enables home rehabilitation in a safe and controlled way through personalised feedback and monitoring of health data, rehabilitation progress and quality of life. For more information, see here.

Within this project, you will be involved in developing algorithms for monitoring and assessing perception and motor behaviour in the hospital and home setting, with an emphasis on sensorimotor integration within the perception-action cycle. Patient studies will be performed to explain human functioning, understand disorders and test new technologies.

You will collaborate closely with colleagues from the Donders Institute and the Sint Maartenskliniek, a rehabilitation hospital in Nijmegen and a partner within the consortium. Your responsibilities may also include some management, mentoring (PhD, MSc and BSc), and teaching-related tasks.

Postdoc Position: Improving Children’s Comprehension of Multiple Digital Documents

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for the NWO Vici research project on ‘Opportunities and challenges in children’s comprehension of multiple digital texts’. We are heading towards the final years of the project, in which an intervention is planned.

Results so far show the complexities of reading and comprehending multiple online documents, as well as of integrating information from these documents into an essay. We have also seen the difficulties children have in navigating online environments.

We now plan an intervention study for the upper primary grades in which we will address these topics, and which may, for instance, consist of eye-movement-modelling examples. As we are still in the process of setting up this intervention, we are very much looking forward to your input.

You will set up and conduct the intervention, together with the PhD candidate and student-assistants. You will analyse complex data, present the results at conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed journals. Furthermore, you will participate in knowledge transfer, such as writing papers for Dutch applied journals and collaborating with the Dutch Centre for Language Education in writing a book on the topic. You will also be an active member of the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) in Nijmegen.
