*********
The Universidad de Deusto, Bilbao, Spain is 
accepting applications for a Post-Doctoral 
Research Fellow position for two years, beginning 
March 1, 2010.

The successful candidate will work with the 
IKERBASQUE research professorship "Internet 
Science and Cognition of Causality" associated 
with the LabPsico research group.

Our mission is twofold: (1) to develop 
methodologies and technologies for Internet-based 
research and understand the psychology of the 
Internet and (2) research cognitive processes 
underlying causal induction and learning. We are 
interested in candidates whose research is 
approached using theories from cognitive science 
or judgment and decision making. An ideal 
candidate combines knowledge and experience from 
Experimental Psychology, Methodology, and 
Computer Science. Possible areas of interest 
include cognition, learning, categorization, 
measurement, social cognition, (Web-)experimental 
design, survey research, prediction markets, 
design and programming of Web applications, 
social Web sites, and usability.
Main languages spoken in the laboratory are 
Spanish and English, depending on the changing 
structure of the international team the 
communication may also be possible in other 
languages (currently German, Dutch, French).

The successful candidate will be encouraged to 
conduct cooperative and independent research with 
an emphasis on study inception, manuscript 
writing, and applying for grants.

The Post-Doctoral Research Fellow is offered a 
salary of 30'000 EURO/year (the upper end of 
post-doc salaries in Spain). Foreigners will 
receive the special low tax status for foreign 
researchers. Additional benefits include a moving 
allowance of 2'500 EURO, 2'000 EURO/year for 
personal travel for international post-docs, 
access to lab facilities and other 
infrastructure, and university funds for other 
costs (congresses, training...). Health care is 
free in Spain, and due to recent developments in 
the housing sector there is an abundance of 
wonderful places available (sea view...).

The University of Deusto and IKERBASQUE (the 
Basque Foundation of Science) are devoted to 
developing a strong standing in internationally 
competitive research, thus providing an excellent 
environment for creative and productive 
scientists.
The location: "Bilbao is a city to dream about - 
vital, vibrant and culturally dynamic, yet 
somehow stress-free and, above all, civilised in 
the true sense of that overused word. ... Today, 
Bilbao throngs with sophisticated yet earthy 
locals, its cuisine is positively lip-smacking, 
there's nonstop partying if you want to burn out 
in style, and a rich Basque culture more than 
matches the internationalism of the Guggenheim." 
(Lonely Planet)

Candidates are asked to submit a letter of 
research interests, reprints/preprints, CV, and 
three letters of recommendation. All requirements 
of the PhD degree must be completed before the 
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow appointment can 
begin.

First consideration will be given to candidates 
whose complete applications are received by 
January 15, 2010, but we will accept applications 
until the position is filled. Please send your 
detailed application documents (electronically or 
by mail) to:
