Scientific Initiation Studentship

Offer Description

Applications are open for 1 (one) Scientific Initiation Studentship, within the framework of the project 1801P.01668 MAGIK: Mixed-Age Group decIsion-MaKing: integrating adolescents and adults into collaborative decision processes (2024.17228.PEX), financed by national funds through FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC).

Workplan: The work plan focuses on the psychophysiological data component of the MAGIK project. The fellow will begin by analysing the signals already collected in the pilot study — assessing the quality of the recordings, consolidating the pre-processing procedures and extracting the relevant indicators — and will ensure, in the subsequent phases of the project, the preparation and monitoring of data collection in experimental group decision-making sessions, including equipment set-up, the synchronisation of the signals with the session records, and the processing of the resulting data. The work also includes relating these indicators to the remaining measures of the study, documenting the procedures adopted, and collaborating in the preparation of reports and scientific publications arising from the project.

Duration: The research fellowship(s) will have the duration of 6 months. It’s expected to begin in November 2026, and may be eventually renewed until the end of the project.

It is mandatory to formalize applications with the submission of the following documents: i) B1 Form – Fellowship application (https://ist-id.pt/recursos-humanos/bolseiros/#documentos-relacionados); ii) Curriculum Vitae; iii) academic degree certificate, where applicable; iv) proof of enrollment at an academic degree course or at a course that does not award an academic degree; v) motivation letter; vi) declaration on honour that the applicant does not exceed with this contract, including the possible renovations, an accumulated period of one year in this type of studentship, continuously or with interruptions, and has not held any other fellowship directly or indirectly funded by FCT.
