Applications are invited for a 3-4 year PhD fellowship available
at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, Norway. All
details about the position and a link to the application form can
be found here:

The position is open for candidates with a Master’s degree or
equivalent in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Biology, or
other relevant areas. The successful applicant will join the lab
of Prof. Sascha Frühholz, which is part of the Section for
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience. Our lab studies the neural
foundations of emotional processing from various social and
environmental signals using a variety of neuroscientific methods
(fMRI, EEG, intracranial recordings, psycho-acoustic experiments,
etc.). For further information about the lab, please visit

The appointment is a full time position available for a period of
3-4 years. Fellows who are appointed for a period of four years
are expected to contribute to teaching and administration with
about 25% of their working time. Teaching and administrative
duties would contribute to activities of the Department of
Psychology.
The project aims to study the neural processes that underlie the
perception and classification of emotional signals from natural
and digital voices.The project mainly focuses on the use of
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the neural
network that allows healthy humans to detect emotions in various
voice signals.The project especially tries to investigate the
neural interactions between the limbic and the auditory system
that support the classification of emotions perceived from digital
and computer-generated voices. The applicant will have the
opportunity to contribute to the shaping of the research agenda.
