Are you interested in early cognitive and brain development? - the Bristol University Baby Lab is looking to host MSCA postdoc fellows

At the Bristol University Baby Lab (BUBL) we run large lab-based longitudinal studies on early cognitive and brain development. Much of the work we do focuses on the early development of executive functions - core skills that we use every day to adapt our behaviour flexibly, make decisions, and learn. An exciting aspect of this work is that a longitudinal approach allows us to identify early behavioural and brain markers of later difficulties. We have collected longitudinal data over the last 7 years, resulting in data from over 1500 test sessions, and will soon be embarking on a new 8-year longitudinal study. This means that we have extensive longitudinal data sets available for postdoctoral researchers who are keen to investigate important developmental questions - such as pathways from early development (infancy and toddlerhood) to later outcomes. There is also scope to look at neural markers and physiological markers, as we collect ECG, EEG and fNIRS data. Finally, there will be opportunities to get involved in our new longitudinal study, which will be starting in 2026.

We would love to host MSCA postdoctoral fellows with a strong skill set and a keen interest in developmental science. If you are interested in conducting research at BUBL, please contact Dr Holmboe with your CV and personal/research statement.
