(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc summary/title: Postdoc Position in Modelling at Different Scales of Life
We are inviting applications for a post-doctoral research position focused on understanding how the microbiome influences early childhood health. This project explores the complex interplay of microbiome, culture, socioeconomics, behaviour, and environment during the first 1000 days of life—and how these factors impact the risk of obesity and dental caries in vulnerable populations. By uncovering these mechanisms, we aim to reduce health disparities from an early age.
Deadline : 1-9-2025

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Researcher on Computational Modelling of Emotional Memory Binding
The flexible nature of memory allows us to distinguish specific events, and at the same time extract their commonalities, leading to the formation of coherent narratives that span hours, days, and even years. Such memory networks shape how we see ourselves and the world, and they guide our behaviour. While we know a lot about the processing of single events on the one hand, and autobiographical memory on the other, we do not have a research framework that connects the two phenomena, preventing a comprehensive understanding of one of the most fundamental human experiences. Such a framework is also key to understanding persistent mental health problems and could direct science-driven treatment innovation. This project is part of an NWO-funded (Vidi) project led by Dr Renée Visser that aims to develop a new framework, connecting neuroscientific approaches that use sophisticated techniques to delineate fundamental mechanisms of memory (trans)formation with traditions favouring more holistic approaches to understanding human cognition and mental health.
In this specific project, we will first develop a formal model describing cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying the development of episodic memory networks over longer time scales and under the influence of emotions, for example by extending an existing model for event cognition by Franklin et al.1. The core neural mechanisms of this model are already functional and do not require significant modification. The focus of this position will be on enriching the model’s symbolic representation layer, with parameters to represent emotional states and their influence on event segmentation and memory, as well as extend the model’s temporal reasoning capabilities to handle events over longer timescales. The post doc has a lot of freedom to decide on an approach, or even suggest an alternative model as starting point, as long as it is informed by (neuro)cognitive theories of event segmentation and episodic memory.
