Your Role...

This PhD position will be located in the project "Interoception of bodily sensations across organ domains and its relevance for somatic symptoms" (INBODY), co-funded by the Fonds National de la Recherche Luxembourg (FNR) and the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) (PI: Prof. Dr. André Schulz). The objective of the INBODY project is to investigate organ-specific interoception, its predictive value for the development of physical symptoms, and new interoception-based trainings to reduce symptom distress. The PhD candidate will join the Research Group "Brain-Body-Interaction" and the Clinical Psychophysiology Laboratory (Head: Prof. Dr. André Schulz) within the Department of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences. Enrolment in the Doctoral School of Social Sciences is obligatory for the candidate.

Activities

  • Recruitment, and clinical psychological and psychophysiological assessment of a representative Luxembourgish sample (Study I), a student sample (Study II) and a sample of patients showing specific somatic symptoms using structured-clinical interviews, laboratory-based paradigms, and psychophysiological methods (e.g., EEG, ECG, EMG, blood pressure)
  • Support of the principal investigator, Prof. Dr. André Schulz, in the administration and management of the project
  • Writing a doctoral thesis in Biological, Clinical and Health Psychology based on original manuscripts published in high quality, peer-reviewed journals

What we expect from you…

The candidate should have experience in or at least be interested in several of the following areas:

  • Stress, interoception and body-related mental disorders (e.g., medically unexplained symptoms)
  • Psychological assessment using structured clinical interviews
  • Psychophysiological methods (EEG/ERP, cardiovascular methods)
  • Theories, models and current international research in Biological, Clinical and Health Psychology, and their overlapping concepts

The candidate has to integrate into a multilingual research team. She/he must, therefore, have excellent command of the following languages (written and spoken): German (required for clinical interviews), English (communication within the research group, dissemination), and French (optional). The ability to work as part of a team is essential.

How to apply...

Applications should include:

  • Letter of motivation
  • CV
  • Copy of Master certificate
  • Publications if any

We ensure a full consideration for applications received by 31/03/2024. Interviews will be held within approx. 2 weeks after closure of the application deadline, with the successful candidate being appointed not later than Jul 01, 2024. Please apply formally through the HR system. Applications by email will not be considered.
